Belanova
" Belanova 是那些震撼墨西哥乐界的小组合之一" –Chicago Tribune
“有趣且抓耳” – The Salt Lake Tribune
作为2000年后*影响力的墨西哥流行艺人，Belanova在墨西哥国内获得了巨大的成功。尤其是二砖Dulce Beat，其中的单曲Por Ti创纪录地登顶MTV墨西哥Top20榜单长达29周。2000年，乐队于哈利斯科州瓜达拉哈拉由主唱兼创作人Denisse Guerrero，编曲兼键盘手Edgar Huerta和贝斯手Ricardo Arreola成立。数年后，乐队签约环球音乐集团旗下的墨西哥舞曲厂牌Virus唱片。在Virus录音室中，他们与制作人Alex Midi Ortega录制了首张唱片《Cocktail》 (2003)，主打单曲《Tus Ojos》，荣登畅销专辑No.1。
这样的成功并非一蹴而*。《Cocktail》在当年二月发行后的数月都表现低迷。直到三菱汽车在广告中使用了《Tus Ojos》一曲才使Belanova获得了大量关注。而当《Tus Ojo》开始流行后，它一鸣惊人成为了榜单榜首，并携《Cocktail》攀升至专辑榜第五位。此外，Belanova大力推广专辑，在墨西哥全境演出，同时发型了几支后续单曲（《Suele Pasar》 和 《Aún Así Te Vas》，前者*到达榜单第八名，后者*12名）。
乐队初获的成功都因其二专《Dulce Beat》 (2005)的辉煌成绩而黯然失色。这张专辑录制于布宜诺斯艾利斯，制作人是曾与Julieta Venegas合作出色的 Cachorro López。《Dulce Beat》将《Cocktail》的风格——纯粹的现代迪斯科流行乐，Guerrero的轻快歌词和魅力歌声重新包装，使其更加易于接受，无疑意在针对青少年市场，提升国际知名度。主打单曲《Me Pregunto》在五月由墨西哥电台发行并连续五周蝉联Top100点播榜首。此外，它还成为了智利和阿根廷的前十单曲，这为《Dulce Beat》的第二支单曲《Por Ti》打下了良好的基础，仅用时三周，发行于十月的《Por Ti》*登顶墨西哥点播榜首，并在电台和MTV保持良好的成绩一直到次年夏天。2006年末，Belanova的专辑《Dulce Beat》获得了拉丁格莱美奖*组合流行专辑提名，制作人López也因专辑制作获得年度制作人提名并赢得奖项。
Belanova的第三张专辑《Fantasía Pop》从电子流行转向更直接的流行乐。这张专辑为乐队在国际市场带来了更大的成功，他们在墨西哥，西语美洲和美国展开巡演。008年乐队凭借专辑《Fantasía Pop》获得拉丁格莱美*组合流行专辑奖。

One of the most sensational Mexican pop acts of the mid-2000s, Belanova enjoyed tremendous success in their native country, especially with their second album, Dulce Beat, whose single "Por Ti" notably logged a record-setting 29 weeks atop MTV Mexico's Top 20 chart. Vocalist/songwriter Denisse Guerrero, programmer/keyboardist Edgar Huerta, and bassist Ricardo Arreola formed Belanova in Guadalajara, Jalisco, in 2000. After a couple years, they signed to Virus Records, a Mexican dance label owned by Universal Music. They recorded their debut album, Cocktail (2003), with producer Alex Midi Ortega at Virus Studios, and scored a number one hit with their lead single, "Tus Ojos."
This didn't happen right away, however. In fact, Cocktail languished for months after being released in February. It wasn't until the car company Mitsubishi used "Tus Ojos" in a commercial that Belanova earned any substantial notice. Once "Tus Ojos" caught on, though, it caught on in a big way, becoming a chart-topper and driving Cocktail up the album chart to number five. Moreover, Belanova promoted the album heavily, performing concerts all over Mexico while issuing a couple follow-up singles ("Suele Pasar" and "Aún Así Te Vas," the former peaking at number eight, the latter at 12).
All of this initial success was far eclipsed by that of Dulce Beat (2005), Belanova's second album, which the band recorded in Buenos Aires with producer Cachorro López, who is perhaps best known for his brilliant work with Julieta Venegas. Dulce Beat resembles Cocktail in style -- thoroughly contemporary disco-pop with feel-good lyrics written and sung with charisma by Guerrero -- yet it's somewhat more accessible, no doubt with the teen market as well as increased international appeal in mind. The lead single, "Me Pregunto," was released to Mexican radio in May and went on to spend five weeks atop the Top 100 airplay chart. Moreover, it was a Top Ten hit in Chile and Argentina, setting the stage well for "Por Ti," the second single from Dulce Beat. It took only three weeks for "Por Ti" to rocket atop the Mexican airplay chart after its October release, and it remained in rotation on radio and MTV well into the summer of the following year. As 2006 came to a close, Belanova garnered a Latin Grammy nomination for Dulce Beat (Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals, ultimately awarded to La Oreja de Van Gogh for Guapa) and López also garnered a nomination for his work on the album (Producer of the Year, which he took home).
Belanova's third album, Fantasía Pop, featured a move further away from electropop and more towards pop. The album brought the group bigger success in foreign markets. They toured Mexico, Ibero-America, and the United States. In year 2008, the band’s album Fantasía Pop won the Latin Grammy Awards Best Pop Album by a Group or Duo.
