Río Roma (English: "Roma River") are a Mexican Latin pop duo. It consists of brothers José Luis (born January 17, 1980) and Raúl Ortega Castro (born July 17, 1984).
José Luis is also a prolific songwriter. Famous singers who had recorded songs written by him include: María José, Alejandro Fernández, Camila, Alejandra Guzmán and Pandora, among others.[1]
They chose "Río Roma" as name because they like how it sounds and because it reads "oír amor (hearing love)" backwards.[2]
