Los Bukis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Los Bukis ("little kids" in a native tongue of Mexico) is a Mexican music band from Ario de Rosales, Michoacán. It was founded by the cousins Joel and Marco Antonio Solís in the 1970s. Their first song was Falso Amor ("False love") and its style became popular in Latin America. Marco Antonio was the writer of the songs and the band sold in one year one million records earning them a "diamond disc" for that record.

Marco Antonio Solís also wrote and produced albums for artists such as Marisela, Rocío Dúrcal, and María Sorté. After years of a successful career with "Los Bukis" Marco Antonio decided to pursue a solo career. At first Marco Antonio Solís was called "El Buki" but after an agreement with the rest of the band both parties agreed to not make use of the name. The new band is called Los Mismos ("the same ones") as in "the same members of Los Bukis".
