Marco Antonio Solis is without question one of the most important figures in the rise of Mexican and Latin music to world prominence during the last two decades of the 20th century. Born in Michoacan, Mexico, Solis was only twelve when he formed his first group, Los Hermanitos Solis, with brother Joel. He was still a teenager when he formed Los Bukis in the early '70s. Over the course of the next two decades, Los Bukis came to profoundly influence the norteño and Tejano music of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Though Solis continued to work closely with Los Bukis, he also initiated a solo career which resulted in platinum certifications for mid-'90s LPs such as Quiereme, Inalcanzable and Por Amor A Mi Pueblo. Trozos de Mi Alma followed in 1999.
