Reik (formed in 2003) is a Latin Grammy-winning Mexican pop band, noted for their club favourites “Levemente” and “Ahora sin Ti”, hailing from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.
Formed of singer Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas and guitarist Julio Ramírez Eguía in 2003, Reik, recorded an early demo which spawned the singles “Levemente” and Ahora sin Ti”. Before long the songs had become staples in the Latin club scene and earned a significant amount of radio airplay. Due to the success the duo invited backing vocalist and guitarist Gilberto “Bibi” Marin Espinoza to fill-out the sound, and subsequently signed with Sony Music in mid-2004.
With producers Abelardo Vázquez and Kiko Cibrian at the reigns, Reik began recording their debut album in 2004. Released in May 2005 the eponymous debut charted well within the Latin charts’ Top 20 aided by the No. One singles “Yo Quisiera” and “Qué Vida La Mía”. The album went on to sell over 120,000 copies and was supported by a promotional tour of the U.S. including dates in Miami, McAllen, San Antonio, Houstion, Dallas, and New York.
In 2006 Reik released their sophomore album “Secuencia” which spawned the singles “Sabes”, “Invierno” and “Me Duele Amarte”. The band’s subsequent album “Un Día Más” released in 2009 earned Reik their first Latin Grammy award for Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The group went on to release the EP “Mi Pecado” in 2009, the full-length “Peligro” in 2011, and the concert recording “En Vivo desde el Auditorio Nacional” in 2013.
