One of the biggest-selling and most important groups in the history of Tejano music, Intocable has often been compared to Garth Brooks simply by virtue of the band's immense influence on its chosen genre. Even in purely commercial terms, the analogy isn't out of line, as several of Intocable's records have been certified Platinum, and the combo has headlined the Houston Astrodome in front of almost 70,000 fans. More importantly, however, Intocable brought to Tejano a sleek, thoroughly modern sound that kept the rural underpinnings but eschewed the cheesy synths. In the best Brooks tradition of mass appeal, the group immediately appealed to both Norteno traditionalists and a new upwardly mobile, urban/suburban class of Mexican Americans. LA HISTORIA replaces both 14 SUPER EXITOS and LO MEJOR DE INTOCABLE as the definitive Intocable greatest-hits package by packing 20 of the group's finest recordings onto a single disc. The combo's precise musicianship, gorgeous harmonies, undeniable passion for the music, and intensely catchy melodies are on full display here, and should appeal not only to Tejano buffs but to any fan of cleanly produced, rootsy pop.
