Los Super Seven is an American
supergroup which debuted in 1998.

Only Ruben Ramos and Rick Trevino
are featured on all three releases.
The group won a
Afro-Peruvian, Brazilian, blues, rhythm and blues, country, jazz and rock. The personnel included the members of Texas Tornados, Los Lobos, Calexico, Ozomatli
