Reik

Last updated: 2 days ago

Reik is a charting, award-winning, Latin pop trio from Mexicali, Baja California famous throughout Latin America for their romantic songs and ballads. Their multi-platinum-selling albums, including Un Dia Mas (2008), the Latin Grammy-winning Peligro (2011), Des/Amor (2016), and Ahora (2019), were homes for their three decades of chart-dominating singles. Forming in 2003 after recording a demo that yielded the Mexican underground club favorites "Levemente" and "Ahora sin Ti," singer Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas and guitarist Julio Ramírez Eguía invited backing vocalist/guitarist Gilberto "Bibi" Marin Espinoza to join the lineup in early 2004. After signing to Sony Music a few months later, Reik teamed with producers Abelardo Vázquez and Kiko Cibrian to begin work on their self-titled debut LP. The album proved a phenomenon, generating three consecutive Mexican chart-toppers in "Yo Quisiera," "Que Vida la Mia," and "Noviembre sin Ti." All three singles also crossed over to the U.S. Latin pop charts, and in mid-2005, the trio also received a Latin Grammy nomination in the Best New Artist category. 2008's Un Dia Mas fared better, placing inside the Top Ten Latin Albums and netting them the number three single "Inolvidable," and three more singles that landed on lower rungs. The full-length netted them a Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2009. Mexican and U.S tours followed the next year.
