Highly successful Mexican trio formed in Mexico City In October1948 by Enrique Quezada (lead singer), Gustavo Prado (guitar and second voice), and Saulo Sedano, (requinto guitar and third voice).
Considered one of the most enduring musical institutions in show business history, Los Tres Diamantes performed for over 50 years without any changes in its original line up, and recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 35 years (1949-1984). Well into the Twenty First century they continued recording at Orfeon and other record labels. Their sound was quite unique and recognizable thanks to tight harmonies, virtuoso requinto playing, and Quezada’s almost ethereal high lyric tenor voice.
They had hit after hit which endeared them to fans not only in Latin America but also in the United States, Europe, and Japan making them a most requested performing act. Their well documented concert tours turned them into world travelers for decades and they were also featured in several movies. Los Tres Diamantes made their last public appearance in 2001 but their music seems to live on forever in the reissues of their recordings and In film soundtracks.
