History
editGrupo Firme was founded in 2014 in the city of Tijuana, Baja California, by Eduin Cazares (originally from Culiacán, Sinaloa) and Jairo Corrales.[1][2] In 2017, they released their debut album Pasado, Presente, Futuro with a total of twelve songs. It was not very successful, but it got them noticed by the music scene. From there, they released other albums such as El Barco and En Vivo desde Tijuana: Los Buitrones y Los Firmes; the latter in collaboration with Los Buitres de Culiacán.[3][2]
The group rose to fame in 2020 by releasing the singles "Pídeme", "El Roto" and "Juro Por Dios". Later that year, they toured Colombia, in addition to recording a live album there titled En Vivo desde Medellín, Colombia.[4][2] The group would also go on to record a song and music video with Colombian artist Maluma, called "Cada Quién". In 2020, they were nominated for a Premios Juventud.[5] In 2021, they won four Premios Juventudes,[6] they also won five of six nominations at the Premios Lo Nuestro.[7] On November 18, they won their first Latin Grammy for Best Banda Album for their album Nos Divertimos Lo Grando Lo Imposible.[8] The group's success continued in 2022 as they embarked on a stadium tour throughout the United States and Mexico called Enfiestados y Amanecidos, which kicked-off at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.[9]
Collaborations
editGrupo Firme has collaborated with Grupo Frontera to create "El Amor de Su Vida", a love song that explores the possibility of one's true love finding their own true love without them. In 2022 they sang with Banda El Recodo at the SoFi Stadium[10]
On 26 April 2024, the Mexican singer Thalía released a collaboration with Grupo Firme titled "Te Va a Doler". The song became a hit in US radios, reaching number one on Billboard's Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay.[citation needed]
