“Mexican Fiesta's 50th aniversary is a great opportunity to honor our community's strong tradition of hard work and commitment as well as its unique cultural heritage. Having LOS BUKIS performing as our kick-off celebration emphasizes the historical momentum and represents the beginning of a remarkable collaboration between FPC Live, Mexican Fiesta and Milwaukee World Festival.” – Teresa C. Mercado | Mexican Fiesta Executive Director

Milwaukee is well-known as the “City of Festivals” and we are excited to join efforts in bringing the community together through culture and music as we celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Mexican Fiesta” said Don Smiley, CEO of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc.

Founded in 1976 by cousins Marco Antonio Solís and Joel Solís, and dissolved in 1996, Los Bukis recorded 16 studio albums that quickly won the public’s heart and produced numerous chart-topping and multi-platinum to Diamond certified songs that are among the most revered by fans across the Latin Music spectrum. The Houston Chronicle details that “Los Bukis emerged in the 1970s as a new force in the grupo genre with a cornucopia of hits. By the ’80s, they completely dominated Mexico’s pop-music scene.”
