Las Hermanas Jiménez, Elvira and María Elena, are celebrated as pioneers of the Twist movement in Mexico. Originating from Múzquiz, Coahuila, they began their musical journey performing as a duo in local events and schools. In 1960, they signed with Orfeón, initially recording ranchera music. Their breakthrough came in 1961 with the release of "A Ritmo de Rock," a dynamic rock and roll track composed by Gustavo Pimentel, where they were accompanied by Los Locos del Ritmo. This success was followed by hits like "Siete Chicas En Un Taxi" and "Amor de Juguete," infusing a youthful rock essence into female duets traditionally rooted in ranchera. Their 1962 album "Twist" solidified their status as trailblazers of the Twist genre in Mexico, featuring popular tracks such as "El Twist," "San Antonio Twist," and "Las Clases Del Twist."
