Career accomplishments include four consecutive sold-out nights at
Mexico City's prestigious
Auditorio Nacional and the group's 2003 headlining appearance at
Reliant Stadium in
Houston, which drew a record 70,104 fans. They also play every year as tradition with two sold-out dates (lately three) at the 10,000-capacity
Monterrey Arena in
Monterrey, Mexico —an unusual accomplishment given that
Norteño groups typically play large dance halls and rarely arenas unless it is an all day festival event. Intocable has also won at least eight of
Univision's
Premio Lo Nuestro awards. They received their first
Grammy win in February 2005 at the 47th Annual Grammys (
Grammy Award for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album;
Intimamente) and second at the 53rd annual Grammys for their album
Classic. They were the first of their genre to play at Dallas
Cowboys Stadium, at the halftime show of the 2011
Dallas Cowboys vs.
Washington Redskins game, and also at
The Greek Theatre in
Los Angeles. They garnered two of the 5 nominations to the Billboard Regional Mexican Awards and got a nod for Best Norteño Album to the 2011 Latin Grammy for their album
Intocable 2011. They were also nominated for a Grammy for the album.
Intocable 2011 was released under the group's own music label Good-i Music and the first two singles, "Robarte Un Beso" and "Prometí", went to number 1 on US regional radio charts. The third single "Arrepientete" also did very well on radio and their fourth single "Llueve" was premiered live onstage at the 2012 Premio lo Nuestro where the group swept with all three categories they were nominated for. On October 12, 2015, Intocable streamed a showcase that was viewed by more than 22,000 people worldwide. All proceeds were donated to
St. Jude Hospital to support children affected by cancer. The initiative #AyudaAyudar was created as part of this effort and has continued to organize events to raise funds. On January 23, 2016, Intocable announced their partnership with St. Jude, a pledge first of its kind in the music industry. Today, their support not only creates awareness for the cause, but their pledge of support contributes to assure that families pay for nothing and can focus on letting their children live. Intocable headlined
SXSW 2016 SXAmericas All Latino Showcase, making Intocable the first Latino act to headline this three-day series of charity beneficiary concert events. The group took over the largest SXSW stage, which attracted more than 50,000 attendees over the three-day period. In the early 1990s, the band's first
indie albums barely sold. In February 1994 their album
Fuego Eterno, with new label
EMI Latin, had notable sales. The music of
Ramón Ayala influenced the direction of the band. The band's lead vocalist and
accordion player, Ricky Muñoz has stated that Ayala is his biggest inspiration. In 1997, the band suffered a setback when two members of the band left to form their own group—Johnny Lee Rosas, (
bajo sexto and 2nd voice), and Albert Ramirez, (bass), formed Grupo Masizzo. Rosas rejoined the group in 2003 after four successful solo albums. In July 2017, Intocable performed their first ever concert in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On June 11, 2020, Intocable came back out on tour since the pandemic shut down almost everything. They hosted their first Drive-In show in
Poteet, Texas June 30, 2020, it was announced by lead singer Ricky Muñoz that 5 members tested positive for
COVID-19. ==Road accident==
