After quitting Grupo Niche, where he was a co-musical director and co-creator, Alexis Lozano founded Guayacán Orquesta in Bogotá, Colombia in 1983.
Nino Caicedo and Alexis Lozano shared childhood musical beginnings in the department of Chocó.
The fifth album "5 years clinging to the flavor" (Spanish: "5 años aferrados al sabor"), includes hits like "Pretty dress" (Spanish: "Vestido Bonito") and "Yolanda", the latter which was a salsa cover of Cuban trova singer, Pablo Milanes.
The song "Winter in Spring" (Spanish: "Invierno en primavera") helped the group gain exposure in the United States and Europe.
In the 2000s and beyond, the group recorded hits like "Carro de Fuego" and “Ay amor cuando hablan las miradas”.
