Frankie Jr and Grupo Caballero


Francisco Caballero Jr. aka “Frankie Jr” was born on April 13, 1981 in Weslaco, Tx and was raised in the small city of Donna, Tx (Rio Grande Valley). Growing up around the music industry Frankie was introduced to Tejano music at an early age by his father Frankie Caballero Sr. aka " The Accordion Abuser". Traveling with his father around Texas with countless artists such as: Los Chachos, Grupo Mazz, Bobby Pulido, etc. encouraged Frankie Jr. to later on in life follow his dream in becoming an artist himself forming his own band in 2009, "Frankie Jr. y Grupo Caballero". Starting off in local bars in his hometown of Donna, Tx lead to more recognition in surrounding cities as a popular local band.

Then in 2011 releasing his second single intitled "Recordando Los Chachos", tribute to famous '70s, '80s band Los Chachos de Chacha Jimenez, was another instant hit!
