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:
“... the mass migrations now habitual in our nation are disastrous to the family and to the formation of individual character. It is impossible to create a stable society if something like a third of our people are constantly moving about. We cannot grow fine human beings, any more than we can grow fine trees, if they are constantly torn up by the roots and transplanted ...”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
“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)
