A platinum-selling Spanish group that combines elements of reggaeton, dance, R&B, and Latin pop, Lérica became social-media darlings covering popular songs before finding mainstream success in the late 2010s with chart-topping originals like "De Tranquilote" and "Flamenkito."

Originally comprised of vocalists and producers Tony Mateo, Juan Carlos Arauzo, and Rubén Noel, the trio honed their skills on social media, releasing a string of popular covers that racked up huge streams. Before long they were looking to make their own mark. Beginning with 2014's "Eres Ese Milagro," which was penned by Mateo's superstar brother Abraham Mateo, Lérica stormed the airwaves, issuing a string of original hits like "Caprichosa" and "Recordando el Beso," also written by Abraham, that paired high-energy dance music with regional flair -- all three of those cuts appeared on the trio's 2016 full-length debut, Cien Mil Motivos. Operating as a duo with Mateo and Arauzo, Lérica have remained a formidable Latin pop presence, releasing a slew of hits and collaborations, including 2019's "Un Traguito (feat. Belinda)" and "De Tranquilote (feat. Danny Romero)," and 2020's "Flamenkito," their second collaboration with Belinda. ~ James Christopher Monger

A child actress turned recording artist, Belinda Peregrin Schull was born in Madrid in 1989 of mixed Spanish and French heritage, relocating with her family four years later to their permanent residence of Mexico City. Displaying a talent for singing and performing from a young age, Belinda starred in three television series for the Televisa station, the last of which, Complices al Rescate, featured a soundtrack on which she made her vocal debut. The amazing success of the series triggered an international tour and enormous album sales.

Just before turning 14, Belinda released her debut solo record, entitled Belinda, which sold more than 800,000 copies worldwide. The subsequent tour -- Fiesta en la Azotea (meaning "party on the flat roof") -- exceeded expectations, with 1.5 million in attendance. The tour produced a live concert DVD of the same name, which was met with great success. Her first album under EMI's Norte label, Utopia, also marked her first non-Mexican production and featured some of L.A.'s most in-demand pop writers and producers. Belinda remained active on the screen as well, appearing in Disney's Cheetah Girls 2. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
