Grupo Frontera
Hailing from the Texas Valley just north of the Mexican border, Grupo Frontera are a norteño band who rose to viral success not long after forming in early 2022. They released their debut EP, En Vivo, Vol. 1, but it was their cover of the song "No Se Va," originally by Colombian group Morat, that brought them fame and became a charting hit on the Hot 100. Another Hot 100 hit arrived in 2023 with their Bad Bunny collaboration "Un x100to," which appeared on their debut album El Comienzo.
Bandmembers Adelaido Solis II “Payo” (vocals), Julián Peña, Jr. (percussion), Carlos Frontera (drums), Alberto "Beto" Acosta (guitar), Carlos Zamora (bass), and Juan Javier Cantú (accordion, vocals) formed in McAllen, Texas, a small town just across the border from Mexico. They quickly released an EP, En Vivo, Vol. 1, and a string of Latin and Mexican cover songs, including a version of Morat's 2019 song, "No Se Va," which found viral success on various online platforms and played obsessively across the U.S. Southwest, and Northern Mexico, intersecting various communities. In October 2022, after conquering various smaller charts, the song made its way onto Billboard's all-genre Hot 100, becoming only the fifth regional Mexican song ever to do so. Buoyed by their momentum, Grupo Frontera played their first concert south of the border later that year.
In May 2023, they scored a Hot 100 Top Five hit with "Un x100to" in collaboration with Bad Bunny. They also teamed with Peso Pluma on the standalone single "Tulum," followed by "Ojitos Rojos" with Ke Personajes. They went viral on TikTok. The two bookend tracks also appeared on El Comienzo, their 11-song debut long-player produced by multi-Latin Grammy winner Edgar "Edge" Barrera. Issued in August, the album entered the general Top 200 at number 34 and landed inside the Top Ten on various streaming charts. Another single, "Amor Propio," appeared a few months later and Grupo Frontera kicked off 2024 with the romantic “Quédate Bebé.”
