Chicos de Barrio

Mexican 12-piece tropical band Chicos de Barrio burst into the local pop music scene mixing urban and Latin rhythms such as cumbia and vallenato. After issuing the successful Ven a Bailar and La Lola, Chicos de Barrio returned in 2001 with Dominando y Controlando, produced by lead singer Dimas Maciel and keyboardist Juan Angel Nájera. The album features the hit single "El Baile del Gavilán." ~ Drago Bonacich
