The Grammy-nominated band formed in 1973, broke up in 1996, and reunited in 2021. Ten of their albums have reached No. 1 on Billboard’s regional Mexican albums chart.
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Wednesday honoring Los Bukis, the chart-topping and Grammy-nominated Mexican regional music band that sold out SoFi Stadium and Chicago’s Soldier Field in 2021.
A large crowd of fans flocked to Hollywood for the late-morning ceremony at 7060 Hollywood Blvd. The roadway was closed between Sycamore and La Brea avenues to accommodate the crowd.
Speaking in Spanish, band co-founder Marco Antonio Solis called the honor “a blessing from God.” He said the band was dedicating its star to immigrants in the country “who strive every day to serve.”Roberto Guadarrama, left, and Marco Antonio Solís of Los Bukis attend a ceremony honoring the group with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Los Angeles.

Recognizing “times of adversity” facing immigrants, Solis said, “We are with you, our hearts go out to all the people who are suddenly suffering from these adversities.”
“We firmly believe that this will change soon, sooner than we imagine,” he said.

The star is the 2,817th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the initial 1,558 stars.
Los Bukis was formed in 1973 by Marco Antonio Solís and his cousin Joel Solís along with drummer Jorge Dávila and bassist Carlos Enrique González. “Los Bukis” means “children” in the Yaqui language.

Los Bukis received the first of its three Grammy nominations in 1984 for best Mexican-American performance for “Yo Te Necesito.” It was nominated in the same category in 1989 for “Si Me Recuerdas” and for best Latin pop album in 1992 for “A Traves De Tus Ojos.
