The name “Los Bukis” translates to “The Little Kids” in the Indigenous Yaqui language, which originated in northern Mexico. “Everybody was Hermanos Nuñez, Hermanos Huerta,” says Joel with a laugh. I think a lot of our fans can relate to that.”Įventually, Los Hermanitos Solís realized they needed a more memorable name to stand out in Los Angeles, which was already teeming with regional Mexican bands. The beauty of being innocent is not being burdened with guilt. In fact, a helicopter came looking for us, but we weren’t afraid. “We had such a provincial innocence back then. “We didn’t know what degree of danger we were in,” Marco reflects.
Despite the band’s immense popularity with SoCal’s Mexican American community, says Flores, “I didn’t think that tickets would sell out so quickly.” He surprised his mother with passes to the SoFi show, which he had ceremoniously hand-delivered to her by a Solís impersonator. “Los Bukis are the Mexican Beatles,” says Erik Flores, 27. Upon adding a second date in Los Angeles, Los Bukis sold it out once more at lightning speed - then tacked on additional stadium dates in Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, Arlington, Texas and Oakland. “Mexico was our birthplace,” says Solís, “but California was the cradle.” Two-plus decades later, Hans Schafer, the head of Live Nation Latin, says that the band sold out the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium within minutes - faster than the Rolling Stones sold tickets to their SoFi show in October. In August 1995, Los Bukis performed at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before 60,000 fans for what would have been their last-ever L.A. “It didn’t give us much in the beginning, but it’s where we recorded most of our records. is very representative of us,” says Marco Antonio Solís, Los Bukis’ famously coiffed lead singer and songwriter, now 61. Just minutes after the clock hit 11:30 p.m., and following two of his biggest titles “Si No Te Hubieras Ido” and “Donde Estará Mi Primavera,” Solís thanked his loyal fans for singing with him and wished the crowd “a lot of inner peace.Earlier this summer, long-dormant Mexican superstars Los Bukis - whose ballads have soundtracked generations of Latino barbecues, weddings and Saturday cleaning sprees but who last performed some 25 years ago - shocked their fans by announcing a comeback tour, “Una Historia Cantada” (A History in Song). I love music and lyrics, and it’s truly a beautiful career blessed by the grace of God.”Ĭelebrating a 40-year trajectory, Solís’ “street studies” shined far beyond his powerhouse vocals: he played the guitar, played the piano, played timbales, and danced to every rhythm.ĭuring the concert, where he was accompanied by a 15-member band and four beautiful dancers, Solís performed some of his all-time corta-pulso classics such as “Invéntame,” “Como Fui a Enamorarme de Tí,” “Si Te Pudiera Mentir,” “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” “Tu Cárcel” (which he wrote during difficult times), and “La Venia Bendita” (which he says was the fastest song he’s written - in just three hours - because he was, and still is, in love),” among others.Įl Buki Tour is not only charged with heartfelt ballads but it’s also equipped with hip-swaying, shoulder-shaking dancing tunes liked “Morenita,” “El Perdedor” and “Más Que Tu Amigo,” to name a few. “I have little academic studies,” he admitted during his show. Wearing a shimmery, sequined pant and blazer set, Solís continued to sing songs such as “Nada Que Me Recuerde a Ti,” “Dios Bendiga Nuestro Amor,” and fan-favorites from Los Bukis’ such as “Falso Amor” and “Y Ahora Te Vas.” Today with technology, what I value most is presence,” the Mexican balladeer said. “Let us thank the heavenly father for this moment.
