Members: Darby Trash

Mexican group.Originally from Tecuala, Nayarit, these prodigious musicians dominated, for several years, in Mexico's radio environment with their peculiar style and contagious performances.
In the mid-1950s in Mexico, the group called "Los Cometas" enjoyed singular success, which musicalized various rhythms of bolero music, tropical Cuban, among other Cuban rhythms and foxtrot in its themes, this group recorded for the company CBS (today Sony Music) various classic hits.
Their particularity lies in using the accordion in all their themes as the basis of the rhythm of its themes, thus the mixed bolero and tropical hits with accordion such as "Jugando poker", "Chupando caña", "¿En dónde está mi saxofón?", "Que se mueran los feos", , among others. that would give the precedent of the taste of music, coupled with the northern national, for the accordion, so that the future assimilation of the cumbia that contained the accordion by nature, was not an impediment to its adoption.
