Career

The group began recording locally in 2019, releasing covers of Latin pop and norteño songs. One of these, a cover of Morat's "No Se Va", charted by the end of 2022 due to going viral on YouTube and TikTok.[1]

In December 2022, a collaboration with Fuerza Regida titled "Bebé Dame" reached number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs charts and peaked at number 25 on Billboard Hot 100, becoming their first top 40 hit.[3]

By May 2023, the band achieved its first top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the Bad Bunny collaboration "Un x100to". In response to this, Grupo Frontera announced a 23-date tour to begin in mid-2023. An article by Billboard considered the band's success integral in the breakthrough of the regional Mexican genre.[4]

The band achieved fame through their norteño cumbias, but upon the release of their full-length debut album in August 2023, they proved they could delve into other regional Mexican styles, as well as outside the genre.
