Grupo Metál featuring Chris Perez of San Antonio, Texas was established in 1991 as a Tejano Music Rock band. Formed by Carlos Miranda Jr, son of the legendary singer Carlos Miranda, Carlos Jr first toured opening for Selena Quintanilla Perez across Texas spanning three tours in four years (Ven Conmigo Tour, Entre Mi Mundo Tour & The Grammy Award Selena Live Tour).
Carlos Perez as a Solo Tejano Rock Artist
After leaving the company, Carlos Jr soon updated his name to Carlito and emerged as a solo artist. He signed a deal with Sony records and hit the road touring with the Big Giants of tejano La Mafia. After touring with his first solo album, Carlito decided to venture into another genre – Rock en Espanol under the name Grupo Metál, performing hits from Mana, Juanes, Ozomatli, with an all star musician line up, Grupo Metál skyrocketed in popularity, selling out shows all over Texas.
Grupo Metál Featuring Chris Perez
Soon after, Grupo Metál welcomed Chris Perez to the band. Chris was a special addition to Metál since Carlito and Chris had first forged their friendship as children, a bond that can never be broken. Music had only strengthened their friendship over the years. Touring side by side years earlier, the two enjoyed the time spent on the road touring with Selena.
Ex Dinos Guitarist, Chris Perez who was married to Selena Quintanilla Perez, worked through various Selena albums. These included hit songs like “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” “Amor Prohibido,” “Carcacha,” and “Como La Flor.”
Chris continued his career and went on to win a Grammy with his solo album Resurrection. Following this success, he joined Los Kumbia Kings and worked with them for quite some time. After a brief hiatus, Chris continued to work on a number of projects including Metál.
