Grupo Montéz de Durango

Terrazas, who was born in Durango, Mexico, grew up in Chicago and was a percussionist in the marching band at his high school.

[citation needed] Terrazas was influenced by Tierra Caliente group La Dinastía de Tuzantla.

Besides covers of older traditional Mexican songs, the group played a faster-paced style of music: a polka-ranchera mix.

The group signed with a Mexican independent label and released El Sube y Baja in 2002.

[clarification needed] The group fractured that same year with several members, including vocalist Alfredo Ramírez Corral, breaking away to form their own group, Los Creadorez del Pasito Duranguense de Alfredo Ramírez.

In interviews, the band mentioned how proud they were with this release because it is an album that goes back to the roots of the group's music.

In 2018, the album Arriba La Sierra was released with 10 songs, including a ballad titled Tú Sin Mí and also includes a cover of one of the most recognized hits of singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís entitled Mi Mayor Sacrificio.
