Los del Río (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlos ðel ˈri.o], "those from the river"), also known as the Del Rios, are a Spanish Latin pop and dance duo formed in Dos Hermanas, Andalusia, in 1962. Consisting of Antonio Romero Monge (born 17 February 1940) and Rafael Ruiz Perdigones (born 10 November 1938), they have released over 20 albums since their formation, beginning with Luces de Sevilla in 1967. The duo are best known for their hit 1993 dance single "Macarena", which went on to become a worldwide success after it was remixed by Bayside Boys in 1995.
