Still in his teens when he formed the popular Mexican group Los Bukis, MarcoAntonio Solis is credited with inspiring the massive explosion in popularityof grupera music in Mexico in the 1970s. The driving creative forcebehind Los Bukis, Solis's multiple talents as a singer, composer, arrangerand producer served him and the band well, and Los Bukis hit the big timewith classic tracks like "Falso Amor" and "Navidad Sin Ti." The band'sromantic pop became embedded in Mexico's consciousness, but Solis (who hadbeen steadily writing and producing albums for other artists) finallydecided to strike out on his own in the mid-'90s. He has maintained a solocareer that earned him two platinum albums in the '90s and numerous awards.A truly gifted singer, he can draw a tear with his traditional Mariachitunes and inspire teenyboppers to sing along with a giddy, romantic chorus.
