Based in his hometown of Edinburg, Pulido and his band -- guitarist Gilbert Trejo, bassist Mike Fox, drummer Jimmy Montes, accordionist Frank Caballero and keyboard player Rey Gutierrez -- released Desvelado in 1996 on Capitol. The album became a platinum hit and was followed by Ensename later that year. Pulido's greatest success came with his third album, 1997's Llegaste a Mi Vida. He won awards for Album of the Year, Male Entertainer, Male Vocalist, and Best Video at the 1997 Tejano Music Awards. Live appeared a year later, and in the spring of 2000, Pulido returned with Zona de Peligro. ~ John Bush
