  <bio>Accordion's king Ramon Ayala, son of local musician Ramon Cobarrubias, began playing his favorite instrument at a very young age. Inspired and supported by his parents, he performed in different public places to help his modest family. Ramon Ayala's first band experience was a group called los Jilgueros de Marin; he later joined los Pavoreales. After moving to Reynosa, the talented musician met Cornelio Reyna and formed Relampagos del Norte; the group soon made a self-titled debut album which featured the hit single "Ya No Llores." When Cornelio Reyna decided to leave the act, its name was changed to los Bravos del Norte. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide</bio>
