Los Yonics
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Los Yonics have been a top-tier mainstay on Mexico's grupero scene since the release of their debut album, Que lo Sepa el Mundo, in 1975. Founded by drummer Johnny Ayvar and fronted by guitarist and frontman Jose Manuel Zamacona, they shifted the focus of grupero music from its origins in nostalgic Spanish-language covers of Anglo rock songs during the early 1970s to electrified originals rooted in traditional and regional Mexican music like rancheras, cumbias, and romanticos. After releasing their self-titled breakthrough album, 1986's Déjame Vivír, they ruled the decade as both their single and albums peaked at or near the top of the Hot Latin Songs and Mexican Regional Albums charts, including 1987's Corazon Vacio, 1991's Por Que Volvi Contigo, and 2004's Nuestras Consentidas. They placed more than 20 singles in the Top Ten and more than a dozen albums in the Top 50. As a touring entity, they were as popular in the U.S. as they were in Mexico, touring north of the border almost constantly. 2013's Romances registered inside the Top 20 almost solely due to their constant touring presence. 2019's Los Grandes del Amor was issued as a combo album with Los Rehenes and Bronco.
