Latin Express Band

Carlos D. Saenz began Latin Express in 1975 as a senior at Northside High School in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1979 he added his brother Leo who at the time was 14 years old and attending Trimble Tech High School. Since then, Carlos and Leo have kept the music going for more than 30 years!

In Janaury, 2001, the band performed for the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. Throughout the years the band has won numerous awards, including awards from The Fort Worth Weekly, The Fort Worth Star Telegram, and The Dallas Observer.
