The backstory:
Los Bukis, meaning "children" in the Yaqui language, was formed in 1973 by Marco Antonio Solís and his cousin Joel Solís, along with Jorge Dávila and Carlos Enrique González.
The band released their first studio album, "Falso Amor," in 1975, and followed with an album every year from 1977 to 1983.
The group received its first of three Grammy nominations in 1984 for "Yo Te Necesito" in the best Mexican-American performance category.
They were also nominated in the same category in 1989 for "Si Me Recuerdas" and for best Latin pop album in 1992 for "A Traves De Tus Ojos."
In 1985, "Adonde Vas" became their first album to top Billboard's regional Mexican albums charts, holding the number one spot for 20 weeks. Los Bukis has had nine other albums reach the top of these charts.
Their numerous hits include "Tu Cárcel," "Quiéreme," "Yo Te Necesito," "Presiento Que Voy a Llorar," "A Donde Vayas," "Ya Ahora Te Vas," "Tus Mentiras," "Morenita," and "Necesito Una Compañera."
