In 1974, along with a few of his friends, José Guadalupe Esparza formed a musical group, Bronco.^[1] As the lead singer, el Negro (The dark one), as his friends called him, not only was an instant success because of his distinctive voice, but also became very admired as a talented composer. It is because of his peculiar style as a composer, that artists of the stature of Antonio Aguilar, Dulce, Lucero, Lupita Piñeda, Alejandro Fernández, Los Humildes, Mandingo, Banda Machos, Liberación, Guardianes del Amor, Los Rieleros del Norte, Pesado, among others, have made a point to reinterpret, and release their own versions of his songs.
