The group's style, which combines romantic, hooky melodies, tight instrumentation and vocal harmony, is consistently imitated by other Tejano and Norteño groups. Their most important albums includes Intocable IV, Contigo, and more recently, their blockbuster release X.

Rámon Ayala was a major influence to the group. Ricky Muñoz is the lead singer-accordionist, "La Coqueta" (The Flirt) was one of their earliest hits (mid 90s) and was later made into a music video. Intocable endured a van crash (late 90s) in route from one concert to another in northern Mexico, and a couple of band members died. The song , "Mi Amigo Que Se Fue," ( My Friend That's Gone ) was written in honor of the deceased musicians.

The band's awards include Grammy Award for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album (2005), Latin Grammy Award for Best Norteño Album (2013, 2005), Grammy Award for Best Norteño Album (2011), Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award (2012).

Libertad
Intocable Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

La vida no se acaba aquí
Eso yo te lo decía
Tienes que olvidarte de mi
Era lo que te pedía

El tiempo alivia el dolor
Que pusieras en sus manos tus heridas
Y que la huella de mi amor

A su paso el la borraría

Y por fin me siento libre puedo volar
Pero sin ti de que me sirve

Libertad era lo que mas deseaba
Y es tan solo una palabra
Para ocultar la soledad

Libertad es un sentimiento vacío
Aunque siento que el mundo es mio
Me faltas tu solo me faltas tu

Y por fin me siento libre puedo volar
Pero sin ti de que me sirve

Libertad era lo que mas deseaba
Y es tan solo una palabra
Para ocultar la soledad

Libertad es un sentimiento vacío
Aunque siento que el mundo es mio
Me faltas

Estaba equivocado
Mas el tiempo me ha enseñado
Que pensar solo me hace tanto mal

Libertad

Overall Meaning

is a song about the bittersweet feeling of finally being free from a past relationship, but still feeling the emptiness and longing for the person who is no longer there. The chorus repeats the word "libertad" or freedom, and how it was the ultimate desire, but ultimately becomes a word that only conceals the loneliness that follows. The verses address the singer asking their former partner to forget about them, as it was what they requested, and to move on and heal from the pain inflicted. The lyrics suggest that time is the ultimate healing factor, and that the new significant other would eventually erase any memory left behind.

The use of "me falta" or "I am missing" and the repetition of "libertad" highlight the internal struggle of the singer, torn between wanting to move on and wanting to hold onto the past. The line "Aunque siento que el mundo es mio" or "Although I feel like the world is mine" juxtaposes the internal feeling of emptiness with the external feeling of possibility, adding to the complexity of the emotions conveyed in the song. It is a relatable ballad filled with melancholy and emotion that expresses the sentiments of a relationship that has come to an end.
