Grammy-nominated Ricardo Castillon Y La Diferenzia
Lubbock-born and raised singer-songwriter Ricardo Castillon rose to prominence as the charismatic leader of La Diferenzia, dominating the Tejano charts throughout the 1990s. La Diferenzia’s unique blend of romantic ballads and energetic dance tunes earned the septet their indelible place in the hearts of fans across the globe. Their 1994 Grammy-nominated self-titled record (Best Mexican/Mexican-American album) includes the hit singles “Si Lo Quieres” and “Linda Chaparrita”, both of which reached number one on the Billboard Regional Mexican Songs chart. The album was certified gold for selling 500,000 units; and in 1996, La Diferenzia performed it among other hits at the Houston Astrodome to 61,000 attendees. “Mundo Sin Guitarras” quickly became Song of The Year at the 1998 Tejano Music Awards. While championing his solo career, Castillon continues to tour with La Diferenzia; known for their soulful sound and timeless hits, they plan to champion the Tejano charts and to captivate generations old and new for many years to come.
