The interpreter of “My eternal secret love” and “If you hadn’t gone away” has not only written for his own repertoire, but many artists have recorded songs written by him. Some of these figures are Enanitos Verdes, Paulina Rubio, Enrique Iglesias, Maná, Olga Tañón and many more.
In addition, he has worked for soap operas and movies. She made the song for “Teresa” titled “Where are we going to stop”. and she has lent her voice for “Coco”, a Disney movie. There, she Solís evoked “Ernesto De la Cruz”, the idol of the film.
During the more than 40 years of his career, the singer has repeatedly commented on what his nickname represents.
WHAT DOES “BUKI” MEAN?
Through his Twitter account, Marco Antonio Solís spoke once more regarding the meaning of his nickname. “Bukis” is the word for “children” in the Yaki language commonly used in Sonora. In this region, there is a large indigenous population.
Currently, “Los Bukis” have gotten back together and are promoting their next tour of different cities in the United States.
The band that he founded in the beginning also had that name and it turns out that they chose it because most of the members were minors.
ITS BEGINNINGS IN “LOS BUKIS”
In fact, the word indigenous was not his first choice. In 1970, when he formed the band with his cousin Joel Solís, they evaluated different alternatives for the band such as “Los soles de Tarascos”, “Los hermanitos Solís” and “El dueto Solís”.
Fate led them to choose “Los Bukis” and, apparently, the name stuck. His success began to climb with his song “Falso amor”, even reaching the rest of the American continent. In 1984, they released their tenth album, which included the song “Tu Cárcel” that exceeded almost a million and a half copies sold. Some time later, it would be performed by the Argentine band, Enanitos Verdes.
