ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honored to welcome the legendary group Los Bukis with this well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Their iconic discography has been part of the soundtrack of the Mexican experience for over 20 years and we’re happy to give them the flowers they deserve,” added Martinez.

Los Bukis was formed by cousins Marco Antonio and Joel Solís as children, initially struggling for two years before being signed by Discos Melody in 1973. The name "Los Bukis" means "children" in the Yaqui language.

Starting as a duo, they evolved into a full band with the addition of Marco Ibarra on drums, Arturo Martínez on bass, and Alfonso Bugarini on keyboards. The lineup continued to grow with Eusebio "Chivo" Cortés on bass (1978), Roberto Guadarrama on keyboards (1979), Javier Solís on percussion (1980), Pedro Sánchez on drums (1981), and José Guadarrama on second keyboards (1987). Led by Marco Antonio Solís's songwriting and distinctive voice, Los Bukis became pioneers of the romantic ballad in Spanish-language music.

Their breakthrough came in 1976 with the success of "Falso Amor," marking the beginning of their professional career. The 1980s saw Los Bukis transform from an opening act to a major phenomenon, headlining massive concerts and dominating radio. Their 1986 hit "Tu Cárcel" reached unprecedented heights, earning them Mexico's first Diamond Record and three Grammy nominations.

Los Bukis became beloved for hits including "Quiéreme," "Yo Te Necesito," "Presiento Que Voy a Llorar," "A Donde Vayas," "Ya Ahora Te Vas," "Tus Mentiras," "Morenita," and "Necesito Una Compañera." They performed at legendary venues including Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and Mexico's Auditorio Nacional.

At the 1989 Premio Lo Nuestro awards, Los Bukis swept multiple categories including Group of the Year and Album of the Year. Their popularity led to stadium-sized venues, including a custom-built "Salón Río Nilo" for over 100,000 fans.

After a 25-year hiatus, Los Bukis reunited in 2021 during the pandemic with Marco Antonio, Joel, Roberto, Eusebio, Javier, Pedro, and Pepe. Their comeback included making history as the first Latin artists to headline a stadium tour, "Una Historia Cantada," beginning with sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium and culminating at Mexico's iconic Estadio Azteca. They also completed the first all-Spanish residency in Las Vegas with 14 successful dates.

One of the band’s missions is to donate to charitable organizations local to their native city in Michoacan, Mexico, with the purpose of supporting vulnerable communities.
