Cumbia saxophonist Fito Olivares and his band La Pura Sabrosura -- including his brothers <a href="spotify:artist:4rT1M2PuPtrH8P0NFbRlpk">Javier</a> on vocals and Jaime on keyboards -- were born and raised in Ciudad Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. They relocated to Houston, Texas, in 1977, and formed the group three years later; the band eventually signed with the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Gil+Records%22">Gil Records</a> label. Olivares enjoyed his commercial breakthrough in 1988 with the hits "La Gallina" and "Juana la Cubana." A year later, La Pura Sabrosura returned with the smash "La Negra Catalina," followed in 1990 by "Aguita de Melon." During the mid-'90s Olivares notched a series of Top 40 hits on Billboard's Latin chart, among them "La Ranita," "Cupido Bandido," "El Paso del Canguro," "Juana Maria," and "El Colesterol." His subsequent outings included 1996's La Sabrosura Continua, 1997's Con Amor y con Sabor, and 1998's A Gozar con Sabrosura. Fito Olivares died in Houston on March 17, 2023, due to cancer; he was 75 years of age. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
