Los Rojos: The Heartbeat of Latin Rock
Los Rojos is a dynamic Latin rock band that emerged from the vibrant music scene of Mexico City. The group achieved mainstream success with their 2008 album Fronteras, which was certified gold in Mexico and spawned several charting singles.
Early career
Formed in 2002, Los Rojos began as a quartet playing in the clubs and bars of the Colonia Condesa district. Their self-released debut EP, Raíces, in 2004, caught the attention of local independent label Sonido Libre, which signed them the following year.
Breakthrough
The band's major breakthrough arrived in 2008 with their sophomore album, Fronteras. Released on the larger Discos Orfeón label, the album's lead single, Grito en el Silencio, spent 14 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Mexican rock charts, driving the album to gold certification.
