Founded by brothers José Luis and Raúl Ortega Castro, RÃo Roma is a music duo who performs in the Latin pop genre. In addition to his work with the group, José Luis previously gained notoriety as a songwriter, penning hits for Ha*Ash, MarÃa José, Alejandro Fernández, Yuridia, Camila, Alejandra Guzmán, and Pandora. Hailing from the city of Tulancingo in Hidalgo, both brothers showed interest in music from a very young age and participated in several school festivals and singing competitions. After José Luis moved to Mexico City to further advance his career as a songwriter under the tutelage of Sin Banderaâs Leonel GarcÃa, the siblings began performing in 2008 under the name Josel y Raúl and released a self-titled LP through Sony Music that consisted mainly of Norteño music. Al Fin Te Encontré, their first title as RÃo Roma, arrived in 2011 and spawned the incredibly popular single âMe Cambiaste la Vida,â which appeared on the soap opera La Fuerza del Destino. The single was the first in a series of high-profile tie-ins with popular TV shows that continued with âVida Nueva,â featured on the telenovela La Tempestad and included in their 2013 album Otra Vida. In 2014, RÃo Roma toured the US to promote their compilation Hoy Es un Buen DÃa and participated in the reality show Me Pongo de Pie. Preceded by the single âTe Quiero Mucho, Mucho,â the full-length Eres la Persona Correcta en el Momento Equivocado came out in early 2016 and was followed by an extended edition that included the collaborative singles âPrincesaâ with boy band CNCO and âTodavÃa No Te Olvidoâ with Carlos Rivera. The joint efforts continued throughout much of 2020 and 2021 when the band joined forces with Latin pop diva Thalia (âLo Siento Muchoâ), romantic crooner Leo Dan (âNiña, ¿Qué Tienen Tus Ojos?â), and the Regional Mexican Music band Calibre 50 (âTú Eres Mi Amorâ).
