Los Bukis (English: the Bukis; buki meaning "kid" in the Yaqui language)[1] are a Mexican grupero band.

History

1973–1979: Formation and early releases

Before forming Los Bukis, musician Marco Antonio Solís was part of a duo along with his cousin Joel Solís, titled Los Hermanitos Solís (the Solís Brothers).[3] In 1973, the two formed Los Bukis as a four-member band along with drummer Jorge Dávila and bassist Carlos Enrique "Kike" González.[4] Two years later, the band released their debut studio album, Falso Amor (1975), originally titled Casas de Cartón.[5]

The band released their second studio album, Te Tuve y Te Perdi, in 1977.[6] In 1978, González was replaced by Eusebio "El Chivo" Córtez as the band's new bassist. Their third studio album, Me Siento Solo, was released in 1978, followed by Los Triunfadores in 1979.[7][8]

1980–1989: Commercial breakout and success

In 1980, Los Bukis relocated to the United States, where they added band members Roberto Guadarrama and José Javier Solís.[4] Their fourth studio album, Me Muero Porque Seas Mi Novia, was released in 1980, with Presiento Que Voy a Llorar released the following year.[9][10] In 1982, the band released their seventh studio album, Yo Te Necesito.[11] The album was nominated for Best Mexican-American Performance at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards.[12] In the same year, Jorge Dávila was replaced by Pedro Sanchez as the band's new drummer for 14 years.[4] The band released their eighth studio album, Mi Fantasia, (1983).[13] Mi Fantasia became the band's first entry on the Regional Mexican Albums chart in the United States, peaked at number 9.[14] Their ninth studio album, A Donde Vas (1985), topped the Regional Mexican Albums chart for twenty weeks.[14]

The band experienced large amounts of commercial success with the release of their tenth studio album, Me Volví a Acordar de Ti (1986), which sold about 1.35 million copies and was certified diamond in Mexico.[15] The album became their first top-ten entry on the Latin Pop Albums record chart, peaking at number 6.[16] The album spawned the hit single "Tu Cárcel", which peaked at number 3 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and at number 2 on Radio Mil's Notitas Musicales chart in Mexico.[17][18] The singles "Este Adiós" and the title track "Me Volví a Acordar de Ti" peaked at number 9 and 26 on the Hot Latin Songs respectively.[17]

Their eleventh studio album, Si Me Recuerdas (1988), peaked at number 6 on the Latin Pop Albums chart and became their second nomination for Best Mexican-American Performance at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards in 1989.[16][19] The album spawned the singles "Tus Mentiras" and "Y Ahora Te Vas", the latter of which became the band's first number-one entry on the Hot Latin Songs chart.[17] Their twelfth studio album, Y Para Siempre (1989), experienced similar amounts of commercial success, selling about 750,000 copies in Mexico and peaking at number 5 on the Top Latin Albums.[20][16] The album featured the number-one single "Como Fui a Enamorarme de Ti" and the number-two single "A Donde Vayas".[17] The former was adapted into a full-length film of the same name starring Solís.[21]

1990–1996: Final albums and disbandment

In 1991, the band released their thirteenth studio album, A Través de Tus Ojos. The album peaked at number 4 on the Latin Pop Albums chart and was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards.[16][22] The single "Chiquilla Bonita" reached number 15 on the US Latin charts.[17] Their next studio album, Quiéreme (1992), reached number 5 on the Latin Pop Albums and was the band's first entry on the Billboard Top Latin Albums, peaking at number 23.[16][23] The single "Mi Mayor Necesidad" became their third song to top the US Latin charts, while the title track "Quiéreme" peaked at number 11.[24] In 1993, the band released their fifteenth studio album, Inalcanzable, which peaked at number 2 on the Latin Pop Albums and at number 3 on the Top Latin Albums, their highest peaking entry on both charts.[16][23] The album was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the 1994 Lo Nuestro Awards.[25] The singles "Acepto Mi Derrota", and "Tu Ingratitúd" peaked at number 6 and 9 on the Hot Latin Songs respectively.[24]

The band would undergo lineup changes during 1995, with three new members, Fidel Arraygue, Rodolfo "Fito" Luviano and Victor Aguilar joining as the new bassist, keyboardist and percussionist respectively.[4] Their sixteenth and final studio album, Por Amor a Mi Pueblo (1995), sold about 600,000 copies in the United States, and peaked at number 3 on the Latin Pop Albums chart and at number 8 on the Top Latin Albums.[26][16][23] The album spawned the hit singles "Sera Mejor Que Te Vayas" and "Una Mujer Como Tu", which peaked at number 3 and number 1 on the US Latin charts respectively.[24] The band drew a sold-out concert in Selland Arena in May 1995, where audience members would dance instead of sit down on seats.[27] In 1996, lead singer and songwriter Marco Antonio Solís was informed by his band members their wish to disband Los Bukis due to conflict on decision making. The remaining band members formed a new band, called Los Mismos.[4][15] Marco Antonio Solís would eventually pursue a solo career.

2021–present: Reunion and tours

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marco Antonio Solís reunited Los Bukis during a livestream for the first time in 25 years.[3] In May of 2021, the band re-recorded their hit "Tu Cárcel".[28] The band later announced a concert tour, titled Una Historia Cantada, which would span several large stadiums in the United States.[29] The tour began at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where the band became the first Latin artist to sell out the stadium, with about 70,000 audience members attending the concert.[30][31] They later performed a sold-out concert at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, before ending their 2021 tour in Oakland, California. The tour grossed about $49.6 million USD, according to Billboard Boxscore.[32]

On June 14, 2022, the band announced a second round of their Una Historia Cantada tour, which began in August 18 in Los Angeles, California.[32] that expanded into Mexico finishing the tour in December in Monterrey Nuevo Leon Mexico. The band postponed some dates due to Eusebio "El Chivo" Cortez injuring his ankle at the Los Angeles concert.[33] In November 2022, the band headlined the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards alongside Rosalía and Carlos Vives.[34] In August 2023, the band performed at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as part of the Summerfest music festival.[35]
