Formed in 1993 by Ricardo Muñoz and René Martínez in the border town of Zapata, Texas, Intocable—meaning "untouchable" in Spanish—revolutionized Latin music.
The group created a groundbreaking signature sound by blending Tejano, Norteño, pop, rock, and cumbia.
The band's commercial breakthrough began with their 1995 album "Otro Mundo," and they went on to dominate the Billboard charts.
Over their career, they achieved eight albums that topped both the regional Mexican and top Latin albums charts, including "Intocable" (1998), "Es Para Tí" (2000), and "Highway" (2016).

Their critical acclaim includes 10 Grammy nominations, resulting in a 2005 Grammy win for Best Regional Mexican Album ("Íntimamente") and a 2011 win for Best Norteño Album ("Classic").
The band's historic rise also triumphed over tragedy. In 1999, a devastating van accident en route to Monterrey International Airport killed band members José Ángel Farias and Silvestre Rodríguez, as well as road manager José Ángel González.
Muñoz and the surviving members spent weeks hospitalized but returned to touring after a six-month layoff.
