Grupo Ensamble

Grupo Ensamble is a Mexican cumbia sonidera outfit founded by Veracruz bandleader Martín Olvera Luna, who began performing locally around 2000, formally launched the project in 2001, and later coined its signature banner “El Ritmo Sabroso del Ensamble” in 2005 to fuse tropical cumbia with a distinctly veracruzano swing. After Olvera’s passing in 2020, direction passed to his son Salvador Olvera Ríos, who has continued the group’s studio and touring work. Early catalog markers include the retrospective set Nuestros Inicios (2018) and the live album El Ritmo Sabroso del Grupo Ensamble (En Vivo en Deportivo Lázaro Cárdenas) (2020), which set the stage for their breakout cycle built around the viral favorite “Tus Jefes No Me Quieren” and the full-length Tus Jefes No Me Quieren. Llegó la Cumbia (2021). The streaming era broadened their footprint with Cumbia para Enamorar, Tomar y Olvidar (2022) and Sonideras, Cumbia y Puro Destrampe (2022), while 2023 brought additional studio sets (Al Ritmo del Tigre; Cumbiatón: Cumbias que Hicieron Historia) that kept their sound in circulation across Mexico and U.S. ballrooms. In 2024 the band issued the album Y Así Vas a Seguir and refreshed their signature with two high-visibility singles: “Tus Jefes No Me Quieren (Remix)”—a collaboration with electrocumbia hitmaker Raymix—and “No Se Dice (Cumbia),” which they also showcased live with O3G; that same year regional press spotlighted their single “La Probadita” amid a busy tour itinerary. Momentum carried into 2025 through a cluster of releases on Hyphy Música, including “La Pollera Colorada” with Arturo Carbajal, “No Te Cae el Veinte,” and the collaboration “Historia de Amor” with Sonido Famoso—signaling a tighter bridge between the live sonidero circuit and their studio output while sustaining the “¡sí señor!” call-and-response that defines their shows.
