From its roots in the Northside neighborhood of Houston, Texas, the four-time Grammy Award-winning musical group La Mafia has charted a course as one of Latin Music?s most influential bands. La Mafia was founded in 1980 by Oscar de la Rosa, and Armando Lichtenberger Jr. at Henry?s Night Club, a bar owned by Oscar?s family. De la Rosa, as vocalist, and Lichtenberger, as keyboardist, accordion player and the band?s producer, were joined by Tim Ruiz Jr. on bass in 1996, Joe Gonzales on drums in 2003, Jesus Angel on keyboards and vocals in 2006 and Viktor Pacheco on Guitar in 2007. The band?s original name was Los Jovenes.
