Long known for their popurris, San Antonio's Los Aguilares have enjoyed great success over their 58-year career in music. With brothers Genaro on vocals and bass, and Emilio on accordion, the group became a fan favorite and, like other hard-working conjuntos, toured extensively around Texas and the rest of the country.

After Emilio’s passing in 2009, the band continued the family musical tradition until 2018, when they hosted their final anniversary show. They also established the Emilio Aguilar Alzheimer’s Foundation in his honor to support families of Alzheimer’s patients in the San Antonio/Bexar County and to help research this disease.

Genaro is a humble man and an artist who is generous with his fans and media, with a friendly, positive demeanor that instantly puts anyone at ease. You can even hear it in this interview. Heck, you can even hear it when he sings.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Genaro and learning about one of the most popular groups in Conjunto history.
