Los Yaguarú (often billed as Los Yaguarú de Ángel Venegas) is a Mexican cumbia group founded in 1997 in La Presa, Estado de México, by bandleader Ángel Venegas Frías. The band’s lineup includes vocalists Ricardo Borbonio López, Fernando Castillo, Raúl Ventura Sánchez, and Daniel Sánchez Vargas, backed by Raúl Molina Ramírez (trumpet/clarinet), Arturo Hernández Carriozoza (trumpet), Felipe de Jesús Fonseca Molina (trombone), José Luis Mata Cano (keyboards), Luis Manuel Núñez Martínez (timbales), Alan Borbonio Lázaro (güira), Luis Arturo Núñez Torres and Edgar Segura Hernández (congas), Luis Barrientos Herrera (bass), and Zeferino Ocampo Fitz (percussion). They broke nationally in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a romantic, horn-driven cumbia sound, landing durable staples like “Cómo Decirte Adiós” (1999) and “Amor Sin Primavera” (2000) before the 2002 album Loco Soñador delivered “Te Sigo Esperando,” one of their defining tracks. After Venegas died in 2014, Los Yaguarú continued recording and touring under the same name, returning with the album El Patrón Ya Llegó (2015) and following with Espectacular (2017). They extended their catalog into the next decade with Ya No Llueve en Mí (2020), then added later singles such as “Déjame Conquistarte” (2022) and “Se Armará La Rumba” (2023). In 2025, they released new singles including “Cuento Perfecto,” “Y Si Me Ves Llorar,” and “Nuestra Vida Juntos.”
