Nearly 20 years after they first began recording professionally and in the midst of the twist craze, they had a Top 10 pop hit with their cover of "Maria Elena," a Mexican folklore song.
RCA and their promoters have always drawn a veil of mystery around Los Indios Tabajaras, so it's tough to trace their early years accurately. Their literature claimed they discovered a guitar in the jungle near Ceara, Brazil, and, after making sure it wasn't going to explode like other firearms their tribesmen had found, began to examine it. Eventually, they both mastered the instrument and came to the attention of townspeople, one of whom took them to Rio de Janeiro to play.
Dressing up in ceremonial Indian costumes, the brothers perfected a nightclub act in which they sang and played Brazilian and Latin folk songs. They changed their names to Natalicio and Antenor Lima and began touring throughout South America. In 1943, RCA's Latin American arm signed them to a contract.
In the early 1950s, they took a break from touring and returned to study, each with a different teacher. Natalicio focused on melody and Antenor worked on harmony. They also added a substantial classical repertoire to their act, including guitar pieces by Bach, Falla, and Albeniz.
Another tour followed, this time to Europe as well, and they recorded several more albums for RCA in Mexico. One of their singles, "Maria Elena," released in 1958, became a steady seller, and by early 1962, its success caught the eye of RCA's U.S. division. They issued the tune, and this lovely, gentle melody quickly carved a solid niche in the U.S. pop charts. It ended up spending 14 weeks in the U.S. Top 10 and 17 weeks in the U.K. charts, and the subsequent album placed in the Top 10 album chart as well. Within a year, the brothers followed with another single, "Always in My Heart," but the novelty had worn off and it barely dented the Top 100.
Chet Atkins was particularly impressed by the brothers' guitar work, and he invited them to Nashville, where they recorded an instrumental album with Atkins and pianist Floyd Cramer, and--in one of the oddest releases of the countrypolitan era--one with singer Don Gibson ("Oh, Lonesome Me").
RCA--both the U.S. and Latin American divisions--continued to record them well into the 1980s, and the brother's mellow guitar style proved a big influence on a new generation of guitarists such as Rick Vito

Recuerda mi tiempo atrás, el más bello y feliz- La vida es corta, pero si ésta músisca la escuchamos en la eternidad, seremos profundamente felices. Gracias
Olga Fernandez
Qué agradable sensación me da el escuchar ésta maravillosa música de antaño, sobretodo oír el arrullo de las dos guitarras más bien tocadas del mundo, por los FAMOSOS E INCREÍBLES INDIOS TABAJARAS, quienes acariciaban sus instrumentos y sacaban las notas más sublimes y admirables que ni podríamos imaginar. Gracias You Tube por proporcionar tan hermosas y escogidas melodías e intérpretes.
Olga Fernandez
Han pasado muchos años y los Indios para mi son un recreo increíble, igual para los Ángeles y habitantes de lo que dicen, se llama Cielo, sino para todos los de éste Globo terráqueo. Ojalá Diosito lindo que debe tener un gran gusto musical, deje descansar las trompetas y sus ejecutantes para que se empeñe en crear sinónimos de esas manos maravillosas y talentos para sacar Notas bellísimas a unas simples cuerdas.
Olga Fernandez
El talento más extraordinario que pudo y puede existir, no iguala al de éstos MAESTROS DE LA GUITARRA y con ésta interpretación llegaron a la cumbre. Maravillosos-Que Dios los tenga en su Reino por una eternidad
Rosa García Florian
Un Clásico total...Ramona..!
Anne Williams
"I'll always remember the rambling rose you wore in your hair " and all of us around the piano singing away. Happy never to be forgotten memories of the 40's and 50's

Me encantan los Indios Tabayaras y en general la buena música especialmente las grandes orquestas de antaño
