Live on the Seaworld Viva La Musica Stage - Intocable
is a Tejano/Norteño musical group from Zapata, Texasthat was started by friends Ricky Muñoz and René Martínez in the early 90's. Within a couple years as a band, Intocable had already risen to the top of theTejano and Norteño fields with a musical signature that had fused Tejano's robustconjunto and Norteño folk rhythms with a pop balladry. Currently, Intocable could very well be the most influential group in Tejano, and their tough Tejano/Norteño fusion has become the blueprint for dozens of Tex-Mex groups
