“The album is called El Orgullo de Uvalde de los Palominos,” Arreola explained. “And it’s got a bunch of old classic songs, you know. Our versions of the song.”

The project reflects something Arreola believes has always been important to Los Palominos: connecting generations through music.

“I think they connect to the classics,” he said.

The group’s recent catalog has continued to draw from classic Regional Mexican material while putting its unmistakable Los Palominos sound on familiar songs. Highlighted releases including the group’s version of “No Le Digas A Nadie,” as well as “Y Por Esa Calle Vive” and “Entre Copa Y Copa.”

Los Palominos’ 2023 album El Orgullo de Uvalde was also nominated for Tejano Album of the Year at the 44th Annual Tejano Music Awards, while James Arreola was nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year. Arreola also won Collaboration of the Year with Elida Reyna for “Es Contigo.”

Corpus Christi Celebration Set for September 26

For South Texas fans, the anniversary celebration continues in Corpus Christi.

During the Domingo Live interview, Arreola invited fans to join Los Palominos for their 35th anniversary celebration on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the Selena Auditorium at the Hilliard Center in Corpus Christi.

“We’re doing it here in Corpus on the 26th,” Arreola said. “September 26th we’ll be out there. So we want to invite everybody to come in and join us.”

Arreola promised a night filled with the music that helped define Los Palominos for generations of Tejano fans.

“A lot of music of Los Palominos,” he said. “Come back and really go back and remember some of these hits recorded back in the 90s and 2000s.”

“And of course, you know, come and enjoy a great night of music,” he added. “Let’s celebrate 35 years for sure.”

A Celebration of Two Enduring South Texas Institutions

The Domingo Live appearance brought together two legacies that have helped keep Tejano music visible and accessible to South Texas audiences.

For 35 years, Los Palominos have carried their music from Texas dance halls and stages to audiences around the world. Meanwhile, Treviño has spent decades using television and radio to spotlight Tejano artists and culture, including through his long-running Tejano Gold Countdown.

The significance of the moment was not lost on Arreola, who congratulated Treviño on reaching his own 25-year milestone.

“Thank you, thank you again for having us, Rudy, again, 25 years,” Arreola said.

As Los Palominos celebrate 35 years, the band continues to look forward while honoring the music and memories that built its legacy.

For Arreola, the secret to surviving three and a half decades is ultimately simple: remain connected to the audience.

After 35 years, that connection remains as strong as ever.

“It’s been an amazing ride,” Arreola said. “And we’re so blessed to be doing this for 35 years.”
