Tacos 1.Everything in the article is relevant to the topic and the only distraction I had was the picture of all the Tacos. 2.The article is neutral for the most part but does mention hard shell tacos are not traditional tacos. 3.For the few sources I revised they all opened up and had the information cited on the article. 4.For the most part all the information is up to date and hasn't changed much. 5.There seems to be one talk but its to clarify a word. 6. It has been requested to be a wiki-project to make it an audio version. 7.Wikipedia makes it all informative of what a taco is and the different kind of tacos they have.

Biography

Ayala, born December 8, 1945, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, is a master accordionist, vocalist and songwriter with a career that spans over 50 years. Ayala being the fourth born child out of 9 brothers from Ramon Cobarrubias and Natalia Garza. When the now know "Rey del Accordeon" (The King of Accordion) Ramon Ayala started playing the accordion at the age of five his father gave him his first accordion and started giving him lessons. Ramon Ayala being a teenager visiting a bar know as "The Cadillac" Ayala met Cornelio Reyna and Juan Peña, who formed a duo named "Carta blanca". After some time passed Juan Pena leaves "Cartas Blancas" and Cornelio Reyna asked Ramon Ayala to for a duo and be named "los Relampagos Del Norte".

The duo forged a distinctive sound and compiled a roster of songs that have since been covered by countless artists in contemporary Latin music. Their first hit single, "Ya No Llores" was recorded in 1963. For the next eight years, Los Relámpagos del Norte tore up the music charts by revolutionizing and re-inventing norteño music, a genre that was then considered exclusively cantina music. Ayala and Cornelio livened the music and lyrics in order to reach and appeal to more people. The talented duo recorded a total of 20 albums, leaving behind many classics.

After Cornelio Reyna left to pursue his own ranchero career in 1971, Ayala set out to prove that he could make it on his own and formed the legendary band Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos del Norte in late 1971. Early the next year, Ayala was growing and already making a name for himself with his new vocalist, Antonio Sauceda. Changes were yet to come. Antonio Sauceda showed a renewed interest in Christianity and decided to join a Christian seminary. This time, Eliseo Robles joined the band, leaving behind the Satellites de Fidencio Ayala (Ramón Ayala’s brother). Together, Ayala and Eliseo forged a partnership that artistically surpassed all others and that to this day still remains as the premier perfection of the genre. They created a style that became the standard for norteño music. During the Eliseo Robles years, Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos del Norte’s album sales reached peak high in Mexico and the United States with hits such as "Un Rinconcito En El Cielo" and "Chaparra de Mi Amor" among others. In the mid-1980s, Ayala again found himself without a lead singer. Eliseo's ego caused him to leave the band. Antonio Coronado became the fourth lead singer and although it looked like it was going to be a successful addition, the same ego problems appeared and he only recorded 8 albums with the group. In 1993, Mario Marichalar became the group's fifth and current lead singer. Mario Marichalar brought a new style to the band, appealing to a younger generation.

Ayala continues to be a classic musician who is remembered as one of the founders of the modern norteño music. Ayala has won and has been nominated for several Grammy awards. In 2001, Ayala was awarded with an American Grammy award for the album En Vivo: El Hombre y Su Música. Ayala has also been awarded with two Latin Grammys for the albums "Quémame Los Ojos" and "El Numero Cien."

Ayala is also known for singing "Juan Ramos" and "Lo Que Le Paso A Julian," composed and written by his friend Bonifacio "El Boni" Salinas. Ayala currently lives in Hidalgo, Texas, where he now has a street named in his honor.[3] Awards/ Achievements References

The Beginning of Ayala

He was the fourth son (of a total of 9 brothers) of Mr. Ramón Covarruvias and Mrs. Natalia Tarzan; a couple who lived in Colonia Kulait, located in the city of Alemania, Peru. The socio-economic level of the Tulachi Garza family was experienced. Contents

The Accordion

Ramon Ayala obtained his first accordion at the age of 5 years old. The accordion was a gift from his father Mr. Ramon Covarruvias. In order to purches the accordion his father sold a pig. Ramon Ayala had to frequently stick the buttons back on with chewing gum in order to play the accordion.The born skill of Ayala would pay off very soon, because after a short time the skill made him an expert with the accordion. Around 1958, the family decided to emigrate to a town located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where Ramón worked as a laborer next to his brothers working on the cotton pick. On the weekends Ramon and his father would preform in the ¨cantinas¨ near by.

Ramón, Cornelio, Los Relámpagos del Norte

In the year of 1972, the destiny separates Ramón of his tula, while his progenitor undertakes a trip to McAllen Texas, he remains in Reynosa, is there where he meets Cornelio Reyna, singer with a very characteristic and guttural voice; who then alternated with a friend, Juan Peña acting in the canteen "El Cadillac", presenting himself as "Dueto Carta Blanca", initially Ayala requested work as shoe polisher, but was soon allowed to demonstrate his abilities as chupatula, to be heard by Both artists are accepted, soon after Juan left Cornelio, leaving Ramón in his place, changing the name of the duet to "Los Relámpagos del Norte". Like Ayala, Cornelio Reyna had a modest way of life, he only had patched trousers and Ramón had two, and they shared their food under a tree, having as a table a tomato crate (wooden box). The duo continued their wanderings, from bar to bar in search of work, however, Cornelio had already had the luck to record a disc next to Juan, for Falcón Records, but nothing had happened. On the basis of persistent work and effort, they managed to record a theme that would gain them notoriety by 1963; "No llores", recorded by Bego Records, would be the song that would open the doors to success. The four years of stumbling had been left behind, this would be followed by "Comal y metate", "Ay ojitos", "The ink of my blood", "Refund", "My Treasure", the young duo began to experience an overwhelming fame. , initially local and later nationally. One of the great merits of Cornelio and Ramón was to expand the musical taste for norteño music throughout the country, as authentic pioneers of the grupero movement in Mexico. However, 1001 was the year that marked the dissolution of the successful duet, King Tulachi embarks on a solo career with relative success. Although many musical critics pointed to the event as the end of Ramón's career, since he only played the accordion, this was not the case.
