Houston Artist J Metro Headlines Los Magnificos Car & Music Show!

HOUSTON - Nov. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- J Metro will be live tomorrow at one of Houston's biggest shows of 2015! After three grammy considerations the R&B artist has been cranking out top charting hits. Metro is set to perform November 21, 2015 at the NRG stadium. Expected attendance is over 20,000, making it one of the largest events this year in Houston, Texas.

IN 1982, the Los Magnificos Car Club of Houston, Texas, held their first car show under the club leadership of Joel Carmona and his wife, Helen.  The Los Magnificos car show quickly garnered enough interest to become an annual event in Houston.  Over time, the car shows proved incredibly successful, eventually attracting interest from Houston’s KBXX 97.9 "The Box” radio station.  In an innovative move, a strategic relationship was formed in which Los Magnificos coordinated the car show in conjunction with a concert sponsored by the radio station.  This event became known as the Los Magnificos Custom Car Show and Concert.

Sadly, Joel Carmona, the longtime driving force behind Los Magnificos Car Club, passed away in a house fire in February of 1996.  The club thrived for a while under the direction of Helen Carmona, his wife, and Mark Martinez, who was like a son to Joel.  Later, Mark left to create Houston Society and the club members dwindled, but the car show events were continued in his memory by his wife, Helen, who eventually turned the day-to-day operations over to her daughter, Teresa, and son-in-law, Jon Chuck.  Under the guidance of Helen, Jon, and Teresa, the Los Magnificos tradition lives on.


Today, Los Magnificos Car Club lives on as a small, family club.  Also, Los Magnificos continues to manage the Los Magnificos Custom Car Show and Concert produced with 97.9 "The Box". Currently in its 29th year, the car show, which started in a parking lot at Northline Mall, is now a mega-event that is considered one of the premier car shows outside of California.  In 2009, the show attracted over 600 cars (along with 100 lowrider bikes and model cars), with many of the nation’s best lowriders on display.  The show has even been called the largest indoor car show in North America by Mike Tirico on Monday Night Football.  With the success of the Houston show and the strong reputation in the lowrider community, Los Magnificos has branched out into other markets as well.  These shows represent the high standards associated with Los Magnificos-Houston as top-of-the-line car show and concert events.
