Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho are a regional Mexican band, specializing in the sierreño-banda style (also known as sierreño with tuba). The group was founded in 2013 as Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho, by Mexican musician Ariel Camacho and his friend César Sánchez and were originally signed to JG Entertainment. They signed with DEL Records in 2014, but then left in 2016 due to disputes with the label's owner. The death of Ariel Camacho caused changes to the group.
The band consists of a twelve-string guitar, a six-string acoustic guitar, and a sousaphone tuba. This style of regional Mexican music is a hybrid of Sinaloa-style sierreño and banda.
Los Plebes del Rancho are credited with turning their style of music, which had previously been an obscure genre from the sierras (mountain ranges) of Northwestern Mexico, into a mainstream genre popular across Mexico and the Mexican-American community of the United States.
In 2015, Ariel Camacho died in a car accident.[1]
José Manuel López Castro later became the band's new lead vocalist and twelve-string guitarist.
In early 2016, a legal battle with their label, DEL Records, ensued as both the company and the band claimed to be the owners of the name "Los Plebes del Rancho". In the end, the band was split in two: José Manuel López Castro and César Sánchez left DEL Records and continued to record as "Los Plebes del Rancho", while their original sousaphone player, Omar Burgos, sided with DEL Records and was recruited to be part of a new sierreño-banda band promoted by the label: "Ulises Chaidez y sus Plebes". Therefore, Los Plebes del Rancho recruited Israel Meza as their new sousaphone player.[2]
Their songs "Por Enamorarme” (2016) and "Será Que Estoy Enamorado" (2017) have topped the Mexican airplay charts. José Manuel López Castro left the band in September 2018, being replaced by Johnny Cortés.
In March 2024, Los Plebes del Rancho were joined by another vocalist and guitarist, Orlando Valdez.[3]
In September 2024, Johnny Cortés left the band; leaving Orlando Valdez as the sole lead vocalist and twelve-string guitarist.
