Formation
- Los Bukis
In the 1970s, cousins Joel Solís and Marco Antonio Solís began writing and performing music as a duo, known as Los Hermanitos Solis (English: "The Little Solis Brothers"). As their music and following grew, they expanded the band, using the name Los Bukis (English: "Little Kid"). Marco Antonio Solis served as the lead vocalist, while additionally writing and producing all of the band's music. Their first album sold one million records in one year, certifying the album as Diamond status, in accordance with the Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (English: "Mexican Association of Producers of Phonograms and Videograms, A.C.") guidelines. Their first song from the album was "Falso Amor" (English: "False love"). While Los Bukis continued performing and releasing new music, Marco Antonio Solís also wrote and produced albums for Marisela, Rocío Dúrcal, and María Sorté.
- Los Mismos
In 1995, after 20 years with Los Bukis, lead singer and songwriter Solís decided to pursue a solo career, initially performing under the name El Buki, which concerned members of Los Bukis. At this point, an agreement was made for neither Solís or the remaining band members to perform using the P'urhépecha name "buki" (English: "Little Kid") in any form. In accordance with the agreement, Solís performs under his own name, while the remaining members of Los Bukis regrouped with Pedro Velazquez joining the group as lead vocalist. The members of Los Bukis renamed the band to Los Mismos (English: "The Same Ones"), acknowledging that the new band is the same as Los Bukis, albeit with a different lead singer.

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“Those who were skillful in Anatomy among the Ancients, concluded from the outward and inward Make of an Human Body, that it was the Work of a Being transcendently Wise and Powerful. As the World grew more enlightened in this Art, their Discoveries gave them fresh Opportunities of admiring the Conduct of Providence in the Formation of an Human Body.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“That for which Paul lived and died so gloriously; that for which Jesus gave himself to be crucified; the end that animated the thousand martyrs and heroes who have followed his steps, was to redeem us from a formal religion, and teach us to seek our well-being in the formation of the soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
