Mestizzo
Mestizzo is a Mexican pop music band. The group was created in 1994 in Mexico City. The group is one of the few Mexican entertainment productions to showcase Afro-Mexican talent, as one of their singers is a Black woman.
The band debuted at the 1994 Acapulco Festival. The band went on a nationwide tour in Mexico during 1995. By early 1997, the band was known to United States Hispanic audiences with their hit "El Tongoneo", for which the band made a video.[1] Mestizzo was sponsored in the United States by Miller Beer,[2] a commercial of the beer brand featuring a version of El Tongoneo that mentioned Miller Beer.
The band was personally invited by Prince Albert of Monaco to perform at the Cannes Festival in France.[3]
Among other Mestizzo hits was a cover version of La Macarena, and a song named "El Ruletero".
