8 Segundos

8 Segundos is a country music band from northern Mexico, specifically from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The group consists of the Olivas brothers and their friend, drummer Jaime Reyna Diaz. They began playing music together in 1999, focusing on country music, which is less common in Mexico compared to genres like mariachi and ranchera. Over the years, 8 Segundos have gained recognition for their unique sound and have opened for notable artists such as Garth Brooks and Kenny Rogers. They have released several albums and have been involved in various projects, including collaborations with international artists and appearances in films like "El Callejon," which features their music.

Their music often explores themes of love, pride, and relationships, as seen in songs like "Vaquero Arrepentido." The band has been successful in Mexico and has also gained international attention, particularly in the U.S., where they have performed at events like the Premios Texas Awards. Despite their roots in traditional country, 8 Segundos have managed to blend their style with Latin influences, contributing to the popularity of country en español in Mexico.
