La Fiebre (Spanish: The Fever) is a Tejano music band from Pasadena, Texas.
[1] The original band members were Ricardo Garza jr., Pete Espinoza, Rudy Rocha, Joe Angel Reynosa, Luis Ayala, Juan Manuel "Johnny" Tristan, and Eric Jimenez.
Their 1991 album, On The Rise, produced the single Borracho De Besos, and sold over 100,000 copies in the United States, staying on the Billboard magazine chart for several weeks.
Eric Jimenez was the first to leave the group in order to write and produce for other artists.
[2] Shortly after the release of their album, Fenomenal, Luis Ayala left the group for personal reasons but returned to the group to record the album Reunidos and reestablish the trumpet sound the La Fiebre had been known for.
