Editor's note

Kalimba's pop journey from La Onda Vaselina to solo hits

The Mexican singer-songwriter who wrote his own breakthrough with "No Me Quiero Enamarar" and kept going.

For his sound, start with "Te quiero tanto tanto" and "Besos Robados", those are the radio hits that stuck around. The later "Tocando Fondo" shows where he landed after everything.

Kalimba wrote "No Me Quiero Enamorar" as his solo breakthrough, a song that defined his move from La Onda Vaselina to his own material. Songs like "Te quiero tanto tanto" and "Besos Robados" became Mexican radio staples through the 2000s. Even after the 2010 allegations that were later dismissed, he kept recording with tracks like "Tocando Fondo" on his 2019 album "6PM."

He started in the early 1990s with La Onda Vaselina, then began writing solo material after his brother left in 1997. Albums like "Hijos del Mar" in 2004 and "NegroKlaro" in 2017 came with his band featuring Roy Marichal on drums. The 2010 sexual assault case affected his profile, but he released "6PM" in 2019.
