October 22, 1936 – October 4, 2016
Mr. Ramos was born into a family of extremely talented musicians. His talent for music was first recognized by his uncles, one of which convinced him to sing with his band, "Justin Perez and his G.I.'s". It was then when he learned to play the saxophone, becoming one of the smoothest saxophone players of all time. Recruiting his brothers to join him on stage, as well as his sister on occasion, Mr. Ramos formed his own band (Alfonso Ramos Y Su Orchestra) and quickly became an Ambassador of Tejano music. An artist with over one-hundred recorded albums in his personal library, he is known as "The Legend - Alfonso Ramos...El Mero Leon De La Sierra". Inducted into the Tejano Music Awards Hall of Fame and the Tejano R.O.O.T.S. Hall of Fame. |
