Its stable of muses runs deep: Horacio Palencia’s “De Ti Exclusivo” became a smash hit for the group in 2007, the first of many Palencia penned for them. La Arrolladora has thrived thanks to René and brother Fernando Camacho’s canny ability to bet on the era’s great songwriters. La Arrolladora climbed the regional charts, presiding over the horn-heavy genre’s growing importance in Mexican music and serving the same enraptured audiences as its rival. (Lizárraga’s band continued life as La Original.) But despite the disputes and personnel changes, the music never suffered.
Disagreements ensued under his leadership, and Camacho and many other band members left and started their own band, La Arrolladora, in 1997. The banda thrived under Salvador Lizárraga’s leadership starting in 1976, but after Lizrraga suffered a stroke in 1996, clarinetist René Camacho took over. That group originated in 1965 in El Limón de los Peraza, Sinaloa, Mexico, where it played a mix of corridos, ballads, and norteño for local audiences. One of the greatest Mexican bandas of the 20th and 21st centuries, La Arrolladora Banda el Limón de René Camacho arose from the splintering of the storied Banda el Limón.
