Banda Machos - Besame Mucho
From Album: "Banda Machos ~ Gracias Mujer" .
Banda Machos is a Mexican band originally from Villa Corona, in the state of Jalisco. The band sings a combination of Banda music, Quebradita, and Ranchera. The band has been together for over 18 years and has recorded over 20 albums.
In 1991, 10 young men from Villa Corona came together to form a musical group. At the time, their lead singer was Raúl Ortega, who after 1995 attempted a solo career with this own band known as Banda Arre. Raul had little success with his solo adventdeure, so he decided to return to the band after the turn of the new millennium. His return was short-lived, and soon after he left for good.
Their success came early on in the Quebradita wave. In particular, their second album Con Sangre de Indio (With the Blood of an Indian), which had their hit "Al gato y al raton" made them radio staples during the early 1990s.
Mexican Banda Machos made its debut with the release of a cassette format album called Serían las Dos. The group's breakthrough came after issuing Sangre de Indio, featuring a style known as la quebradita, popularized in Los Angeles' Latin circuit in the early '90s. In 1993, Banda Machos was awarded by Univisión's Lo Nuestro for Revelation of the Year in the Mexican/Regional category, achieving a Furia Musical award for Best Mexican Band in 1995. Banda Machos' "ZapaMambo" was featured in the movie My Family, produced by Francis Ford Coppola in 1994. The group continued steadily releasing new material throughout the '90s and into the new millennium, usually issuing multiple albums in one year. Banda Machos released 20 Mil Heridas in early 2006, which was subsequently nominated for a Best Banda Album Grammy. … From Wiki
