When was Los Bukis formed? All about iconic Mexican band as they are to be honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame star

Iconic Mexican band Los Bukis was reportedly formed in 1973 and has since gone on to become one of the longest-running Mexican musical groups. The group is set to be honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on July 23 at 11:30 a.m. PT. According to the official Hollywood Walk of Fame website, the group is being awarded the "2,817th star".

Formed by cousins Marco Antonio and Joel Solis when they were children, the group's musical journey has spanned over the last five decades. The group has released twelve studio albums, including hits like Quiéreme, Tu Cárcel, and Yo Te Necesito. Marco (@marcoantoniosolis_oficial) took to his Instagram to express gratitude for the honor and wrote (roughly translated),

“Five decades ago this was born with so much essence, an essence of love and truth that managed to touch millions of hearts that today celebrate with us this recognition that will shine brightly in our firmament. Thank you Bukimania for taking us to this transcendent place. And forever The Bukis.”

Los Bukis are being honored with their Hollywood Walk of Fame star at the 7060 Hollywood Boulevard. Ana Martines, producer of the Walk of Fame, described the Mexican group as "legendary" and described their honour of housing the group's star. She noted,

“Their iconic discography has been part of the soundtrack of the Mexican experience for over 20 years and we’re happy to give them the flowers they deserve."
