Grupo Bryndis are a longstanding, Grammy-winning legend in Mexican popular music in the grupero genre. They combine elements of Mexican cumbia, pop, and banda -- the latter despite not having a horn section. They have sold millions of recordings and continue to play sold-out tours across Mexico, the United States, and Central and South America. Their motto from the very beginning has been "the group that sings of love." The group was formed in Cerritos, San Luis Potosí, Mexico by Mauro Posada (leader and songwriter), Gerardo Izaguirre (bass guitar), Claudio Montano (keyboards), drummer and second vocalist Juan Guevara, and singer Tony Solis. When Solis left the group in 1988, Juan's brother Guadalupe became lead vocalist. Grupo Bryndis toiled for years playing locally and regionally while writing their own material, in addition to covering traditional music, hit songwriters, and the work of their peers. They recorded several independent albums before signing with Disa in 1988 (remaining there until 2007), and received their first real radio attention after covering Miguel Gallardo's "Otro Ocupa Mi Lugar."
