Grupo Frontera is an American band from Edinburg, Texas. The band consists of Adelaido "Payo" Solis III (vocals, bajo quinto), Juan Javier Cantú (vocals, accordion), Julian Peña Jr. (percussion), Alberto “Beto” Acosta (bajo quinto), Carlos Guerrero (drums), and Carlos Zamora (bass guitar).
The group began recording locally in 2019, releasing covers of Latin pop and Norteno songs. One of these, a cover of Morat's "No se va", charted by the end of 2022 thanks to heavy video viewings on YouTube and TikTok.[1]
In April 2023, 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 of the same year, 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 in Billboard considered the band's success integral in the breakthrough of the Regional Mexican subgenre.[4]
