The residency, scheduled from May to September at the Dolby Live theater in the Park MGM resort and hotel, comprises 15 shows expected to attract nearly 6,000 fans per performance.
Marco Antonio Solís expressed his gratitude for the unexpected opportunity, emphasizing the band’s pioneering spirit and the profound impact of their music. He anticipates that the residencia will leave lasting impressions on both the band and their devoted audience, describing it as “a great blessing and a great gift.”
Founded over 50 years ago by Marco Antonio Solís and his cousin Joel Solís in Michoacán, Mexico, Los Bukis quickly became icons of Mexican grupera music. The band’s evolution, with the addition of Javier Solís, Eusebio “Chivo” Cortés, Pedro Sánchez, José Guadarrama, and Roberto Guadarrama, solidified their status as icons of grupera music. Hits like Tu Cárcel, Acepto Mi Derrota and A Donde Vayas have become synonymous with the group’s legacy.
