Kinto Sol is a Chicano rap group based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The group consists of three brothers: DJ Payback Garcia (Javier García), El Chivo (Eduardo García) and Skribe (Manuel García); originally from Iramuco, Guanajuato, Mexico,[1] they moved to the US in their youths. They rap exclusively in Spanish, fusing traditional Mexican music with hip hop beats.
The group's name is a phonetic spelling of "quinto sol" (fifth sun), and is taken from an Aztec legend in which the Fifth Sun will be the last one to set in this lifetime.
El Chivo has also released two solo albums.
