Micro Chips

Micro Chips, a Mexican children's rock music group, was formed in 1987 in Torreón. The original lineup included Javier Willy on keyboards and vocals, Daniel Willy on drums and vocals, Toti Willy on vocals, Ricardo Villa on lead guitar and vocals, Jay de la Cueva on bass and vocals, and Tito de Llano on guitar and vocals. Their first album, Niños Eléctricos, was released in early 1988 with singles like "No quiero," "Angello," and "Boomerang," earning a gold award for high sales. In 1989, the Willy siblings left to pursue studies, and Micro Chips continued with new members, including Mariana Navarro on vocals, Jorge Mercado on keyboards, and Tomás Pérez-Ascencio on drums and vocals. Their second album, De Película, was released in 1989. The band's third album, Energía es Amor, came out in 1990, introducing new singers Yani Contreras and Jessica Herreman. Their fourth and final album, No Somos Números, was produced by Óscar Flores and released in 1992. Micro Chips disbanded in 1993 but reunited for the re-release of Niños Eléctricos in 2014 and again in 2024 with bonus tracks.
