Career[]

Chicos de Barrio formed in 1995 in Torreón, Coahuila, performing locally and in surrounding areas. They were discovered by producer , who offered to record their first album, Triste Lagunera, for the record label MCM (Metro Casa Musical). The album was recorded in Corona, California. Granados was sold the reproduction rights for the band's music. It took one year of work before the album was released.

The following year, Chicos de Barrio began a tour of the United States. While still touring, Jesus Dimas Maciel and Juan Angel Najera set up local events around Texas, in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and other cities. The group later played concerts as support acts for artists including Michael Salgado, Bobby Pulido, and Intocable, and further gigs around the United States and in Mexico. They were invited by the governor of Coahuila to perform at various Mexican nominations, and also performed live on television shows such as Furia Musical, Hoy, Sabado Gigante, Despierta America, El Gordo y la Flaca, Primer Impacto.

They were recruited by Warner Bros. Records to perform and record the theme tune to ¡Mucha Lucha!, which was broadcast on Kids' WB and Cartoon Network; as well as performing the cumbia song "Güe - güe - güepa" in the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode "3-D Struction".[1]

In 2011 Dimas Maciel left the group to follow a religious path, but he continues to manage the group. At the start of 2013, the other lead singer, Susana Ortiz, also left the group. The band has since recruited two new vocalists: Gabriel Grijalva Blanco, formerly of La Mera Vena, and the new female vocalist, Sammy Debaral, from Monclova, Mexico.

The group were the winners of the "Mejor Tropical" award at the Latin Music Awards 2010.
