A Mexican group that mixed folk, cumbia, and banda, anchored by Sergio Gómez's voice until his death in 2007.
For a sense of their early pull, listen to 'Luna de Xelaju'. 'Adios a Mi Amante' gives you a later, quieter side.
They put out songs like 'Luna de Xelaju' that caught on beyond their home region, blending Mexican folk with cumbia and banda rhythms. The murder of lead singer Sergio Gómez in 2007 marked a hard turn for the band, but they kept going. Their catalog, from 'Con Olor A Hierba' to later tracks like 'Adios a Mi Amante', shows a steady hand in regional Mexican music without overstating their place in it.
They formed in La Sierra, Chiapas in the late 1990s and broke through with the 2003 album 'Conquistando Corazones'. After Gómez's death, Miguel Angel Romero stepped in as vocalist, and they continued releasing albums like 'El Amor'. They've stayed active, playing festivals and keeping their sound rooted in the styles they started with.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
