Lu is a Mexican pop duo formed by Mario Sandoval and Paty Cantú, both from Guadalajara, Mexico. Paty was studying Law and she changed to music when they were signed to Warner Music Mexico. Mario started to write lyrics at the age of 6 when he wrote a song called "Teresa". The sound of their music is similar to Aleks Syntek's, Sin Bandera, Mecano or Sentidos Opuestos. The debut album is called Lu and was produced by Aureo Baqueiro, producer of artists like Natalia Lafourcade, Sin Bandera, Kabah and Moenia. They received moderate success in the Spanish speaking world, with songs like Por Besarte and Duele.
Their videos had a good reception between MTV, Telehit, and Ritmoson Latino among others. Also they did a ReEdition of their album debut which has a cover of Alejandro Sanz's song "Viviendo Deprisa"
Recently, they enjoyed success in Brazil because their song "Por Besarte" is played on Rebelde. Their album debut was released on May, 2006. Actually, their album debut sold over 30,000 in that country and gained the status of gold album. The downloads of the ringtone "Por Besarte" peaked at #2.
