Fruko y sus Tesos is a salsa supergroup from Colombia which enjoys immense popularity throughout Latin America and the United States. The band has been an incubator for Colombian salsa talent. In 1970, multi-instrumentalist Julio Ernesto Estrada ‒ or "Fruko" as he is artistically known - formed the group, modeling it after the New York City salsa sound of the Fania All-Stars, one of the leading salsa groups at the time.
