Banda Machos is a Mexican band originally from Villa Corona, in the state of Jalisco. The band sings a combination of Banda music, Quebradita, and Ranchera. Banda Machos has performed songs composed by Joan Sebastian, Jose Guadalupe Esparza, José Alfredo Jiménez, Ivan Diaz, Horacio Ortíz and Marco Antonio Solís. The band has been together for over 20 years and has recorded over 20 albums. ==Origins== In 1990, 13 young men from Villa Corona came together to form a musical group. They recorded and released their first album, ''Serian Las Dos'', on cassette that same year. Composed primarily of cumbias, rancheras and corridos, the band's debut achieved moderate success. In 1991, Banda Machos issued ''Casimira'', with the title track, ''Lena De Pirul'', ''La Culebra'', ''Un Indio Quiere Llorar'', ''No Soy Monedita De Oro'', ''La Cosita'' and ''Traficantes Michoacanos'' becoming major hits. They also interpreted ''El Viejo Joven'' and ''Un Cariño Como Tu'', both well known songs by Joan Sebastian. The band began using their phrase ''Arre Machos!'' on many of their songs. The band's breakthrough came with 1992's ''Sangre De Indio'', which spawned ''Al Gato Y Al Raton'', their biggest hit at the time. Other hits on the album are ''La Secretaria'', ''Y La Quiere Paco'', ''Escuadras Del Sur'', ''Sangre De Indio'', ''Volvere'', ''Mi Tesoro'' and ''Chaparra De Mi Amor.'' In 1993, they released their fourth album, ''Los Machos Tambien Lloran.'' The album featured ''Guerita'', ''Motivos'', ''Mi Luna, Mi Estrella'', ''Las Nachas'', ''La Carga Del Diablo'', ''Las Mañanitas'' and ''Tu Abandono'', all of which were popular songs in Mexico and the United States. The album cover was the first to display the band's unique costumes that they gained recognition for. This production included the essential touch of their name by what many call "El Macho" consisting of a figure with a hat and suit. It is usually black, although it has changed color. ''Gracias Mujer'' was released in 1994. Hits on the album include ''Las Habas'', ''La Más Bonita De Todas'', ''El Puchoncito'', ''Mi Otra Mitad'', ''Esclavo y Amo'' and an interpretation of ''Bésame Mucho''. At the time, the band's lead singer was Raúl Ortega, who after this release attempted a solo career with his own band known as Banda Arre. Raul had little success with his solo adventure, so he decided to return to the band in 2001. Machos released two albums, ''La Reunion'' and ''A Prueba De Balas'' that year. His return was short-lived, and soon after he left for good. Their success came early on in the Quebradita wave, a style popularized in Los Angeles' Latin circuit in the early '90s. In particular, their third album, ''Sangre De Indio'' (Blood of an Indian), which had their hit "Al Gato Y Al Raton" made them radio staples during the early 1990s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banda Machos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
