Los Byby's

Mexican cumbia act Los Bybys formed in Tequixquiac, Mexico, in 1991 and quickly found themselves at the forefront of the Género Grupero Movement. Led by Fausto "Tello" Cruz, the group made its official debut later that year with the album Regresa and achieved international recognition thanks to their sophomore effort, Castigo. Released in 1992, Castigo featured some of their biggest hits, including "Llorar Llorar," "Esa Mujer," and "Corazón Barato." During this time, the group embarked on its first headlining tour throughout Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. As Los Bybys' popularity continued to grow, so did the inner tensions within the band, which led to Fausto Cruz's exit in 1996. Ever since his departure, lead vocalist Sergio Ramírez Prado assumed the role of chief songwriter, contributing the bulk of the group's compositions on LPs like En Tus Manos (2000), Propiedad Privada (2002), and Mujeres (2007). In 2015, Los Bybys suffered a devastating blow after percussionist Edgar Octavio Ramírez Prado disappeared and was later found dead in a sewage pool in Teoloyucan.
