Mexican musical group founded in 1966 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Los Strwck (pronounced "strook") is a Mexican musical group, founded in 1966. Led by Elbert Moguel, they originated from Guadalajara, Jalisco[1] Their biggest hits include the ballads "Él", "Dilo tú", "Quién" and "Recuerdo estudiantil". They mainly made rock and roll, ballad, and cumbia music.
The group was initially called "Fuego" ("Fire") and later "Los Extraños" ("The Strangers"), but they often met with difficulties because there were already other groups with those names. Because of this, Moguel came up with the notorious "Strwck" name after deciding that he wanted to create a name that had no vowel letters, and therefore a word that wouldn't exist in any language and that wasn't already the name of any other group.[2] Their first album, "La Doctoriza", blends rock & roll music, cumbia, psychedelic rock and ballads. However, their later releases were more conventional ballads and cumbia songs.
The group was very popular in Mexico in the 1970s, and many of Moguel's compositions were hits as recorded by other groups.
