Banda Maguey (nickname: "La estrella de los bailes") is a Regional Mexican band from Jalisco, Mexico.
[1] Banda Maguey was led by their singer Ernesto Solano who has also composed a number of their songs, including Pero Te Amo, a hit from their fourth album, El Mundo Gira.
A favorite during the 1990s technobanda craze, Banda Maguey took over the radio waves with their debut album Tumbando Caña in 1994, which contained a number of hits including "El Alacrán" a cover originally sung by La Sonora Matancera.
Signed to Fonovisa a year earlier, Banda Maguey took over their native town with their onda grupera style.
In 2012–13, former lead vocalist Ernesto Solano spent several months in jail on charges that he had been misusing the name of the band in connection with his solo career.
