Hailing from Patterson, California, Eslabon Armado became one of the leading voices in corridos tumbados and the sierreño wave of the 2020s with searing love songs and a rustic signature style. Formed in 2017 by brothers Pedro and Brian Tovar and their friend Gabriel Hidalgo, the trio's DIY after-school videos started gaining traction on social media, eventually getting the attention of executives at influential música-mexicana label DEL Records. Eslabon Armado's breakthrough came in 2020 with “Con Tus Besos”, off the album <i>Tu Veneno Mortal</i>, which was loaded with romantic angst and giant hooks that would define future hits like “Cuando Tú Me Miras” and the DannyLux-featuring “Jugaste y Sufrí”. In 2023, the band became a global sensation with “Ella Baila Sola”, a blockbuster collaboration with singer and rapper Peso Pluma. The song was the first corrido to enter the Billboard Top 10, helping to mainstream the style.
