Los del Río (Spanish for those from the river, referring to the Guadalquivir or the Guadaira) is a Spanish music duo comprised of musicians Antonio Romero and Rafael Ruíz. They are originally from the city section of Dos Hermanas in Seville. As a duo, Romero and Ruiz have been a consistent, and persistent, act since the early 1960s. LDR had achieved considerable attention in southern Spain by the time "Macarena" was written in 1993, but not without experiencing some hardship beforehand.

For a number of years, LDR were known for attending private "jet-set" parties at Marbella. However, in the summer of 1996, the duo enjoyed the success of their multi-platinum smash summer hit "Macarena", which sold over 10 million copies world wide becoming the second best selling single of all time (behind Elton John's "Candle in the Wind") The song spent a record 14 weeks at 1 and 60 weeks in the Hot 100. This is the longest running 1 debut single in American music history. The song was also featured prominently in many other countries and movie soundtracks.
