Grupo Bronco is a Mexican Grupero group from Apodaca, N.L..〔Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World John Shepherd, David Horn, Dave Laing - 2005 "The most prominent bands of the grupo-norteria fusion are Los Baron de Apodaca, Los Mier, Bronco and Limite."〕 Bronco's modern take on the Norteño style in the '80s and '90s helped earn them a number of international hits. Band members José Guadalupe Esparza, Ramiro Delgado, Javier Villareal, and José Luís 'Choche' Villareal crafted a sound that paid tribute to the Norteño tradition while incorporating modern instruments like keyboards, as well as a more melodic, pop style with elaborate costumes. By 1990 "Bronco" proved that they were gaining fame because that same year they were the protagonist of the movie called "Bronco la pelicula" in which all four members of the band played a role in this film. ''Bronco'', who had already experienced international fame partly by help of their international hit ''Que no Quede Huella'' (''May no Traces be Left'') from their 1989 album ''A Todo Galope'', and being scheduled to tours that took them all over Mexico, to the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and many other countries, found themselves in the midst of a second power dose of famousness in 1993, when they acted in the Televisa soap opera, ''Dos Mujeres, un Camino'' (''Two Women, one Road''), alongside Erik Estrada, Laura León, Lorena Herrera, Selena Quintanilla and Bibi Gaytán, among others. In addition to the acting, they performed the show's opening song, which was titled like the show. The CD ''Pura Sangre'' which included the song ''Dos Mujeres, un Camino'', earned gold and platinum records in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay, as well as in Mexico. All of Bronco's albums have achieved solid sales in the United States. After Esparza announced he was going to pursue a solo career in 1997, the group broke up. After six years, in 2003, the bandmembers finally announced a return, and later that year, the group was reformed. They intended to use the name ''Bronco'' in Mexico again, but rather than draw out a dispute over the copyrighted band name with their ex-manager, they chose to go by the name ''El Gigante de America.'' This name was the nickname their public gave them during their quarter century as ''Bronco''. Despite not being able to sing as ''Bronco'' in Mexico, the group still uses the name Bronco for their international concerts, where Mexican copyright laws do not count. Grupo Bronco has sold over 10 million albums to date. On September 30, 2012 Jose Luis Villarreal (Choche) died in Apodaca, N.L. and in February that same year former keyboardist and accordionist Erick Garza was kidnapped and died in Monterrey ==Albums== 2014 "En Vivo desde Monterrey" *2010: ''De Sangre Norteña'' *2009: ''El Mundo No Se Detiene'' *2007: ''Mas Broncos Que Nunca'' (First album on Fonovisa) *2007: ''Sin Fronteras...En Vivo *2006: ''Huella Digital'' (Last album on Ariola) *2005: ''Por Ti'' *2004: ''Sin Riendas'' *2003: ''Siempre Arriba'' (First album as El Gigante de América) *1997: ''La Ultima Huella'' (Last album as Bronco) *1996: ''Homenaje A Los Grandes Grupos'' *1995: ''Animal'' *1994: ''Rompiendo Barreras'' *1993: ''Pura Sangre'' *1992: ''Por El Mundo'' *1991: ''Salvaje Y Tierno'' *1990: ''Amigo'' *1989: ''A Todo Galope'' *1988: ''Un Golpe Mas'' *1987: ''Super Bronco'' *1986: ''Indomable'' *1985: ''Sergio el Bailador'' (First album on Ariola) *1984: ''Bailando Jalao'' (Last album on Disa) *1983: ''Grande De Caderas'' *1982: ''Tu prieto'' *1980: ''Te quiero cada día más'' (Debut album) 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「Bronco (Mexican band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
