Grupo Laberinto

Formed in 1987 in Ciudad Obregón in the Mexican state of Sonora, Grupero Laberinto is a group that specializes in corridos, rancheras, boleros, and a danceable, tropical blend similar to merengue. The group made its recording debut playing this latter style, but it quickly expanded its horizons to include rancheras, corridos, and ballads in its repertoire, a stylistic shift that widened the group's appeal to other parts of Mexico and the United States. The corrido style, in particular, would score Laberinto its biggest hits, all of which are featured front and center on such albums as Corridos Recien Horneados, Corridos Pesadisimos, and the collection Corridos de Grueso Calibre. ~ Andree Farias
