La Sombra, also known as La Sombra de Tony Guerrero and previously known as La Sombra de Chicago, is a Tejano band founded by Antonio "Tony" Guerrero Jr.[1] Originally from the Chicago suburb of Aurora, Illinois, the group gained national acclaim and success after moving to Corpus Christi, Texas and signing with Freddie Records.
La Sombra released over twenty full-length studio albums featuring songs in both Spanish and English. Following numerous line-up changes, the group disbanded in 1995, briefly reuniting in 2008 for a number of live shows.
La Sombra has been credited with influencing the Tejano music fields in terms of musical style, dress, and concert performances as well as a generation of newer artists.
