Los Bukis, a name synonymous with Latin music romance and nostalgia, is a legendary Mexican group known for its ballads and cumbias which have captivated audiences for decades. Formed in 1975 in Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, Mexico, the band was initially comprised of cousins Marco Antonio Solís and Joel Solís, along with Jose "Pepe" Guadarrama, Roberto Guadarrama, Eusebio "El Chivo" Cortez, Pedro Sanchez, and Jorge Alejandro "Coco" Villalobos. The term "Bukis" originates from the word 'buki', which is a moniker for the word 'child' in the Purépecha language, embodying the young spirit of the band members when they first started.
Becoming one of the most significant groups in the genre of grupera music, Los Bukis dominated the charts for over two decades. Their careers were marked by many successful albums and a multitude of hits such as "Tu Cárcel," which not only showcased their musical prowess but also the heartfelt lyricism of Marco Antonio Solís. The group disbanded in the late 1990s as Solís pursued a wildly successful solo career. Despite the split, the ensemble's legacy continued to thrive, exemplified by compilations and live recordings that catered to fans old and new. Following a hiatus of nearly 25 years, Los Bukis reunited in 2021, igniting excitement and nostalgia among legions of fans eager to relive their classic sound. Their discography, containing a treasure trove of timeless tracks, not only encapsulates a significant era in Latin music but continues to influence new generations of artists and listeners.
