Grupo Exterminador, a prominent norteño band from Mexico, has captivated audiences for over three decades with their unique musical journey.
The band originated in the small town of Refugio del Río, Guanajuato, where Juan Corona discovered his passion for music at a young age.
In 1987, the group, initially known as Los Hermanos Corona, relocated to Los Angeles, California, in pursuit of greater success in the norteño music scene.
The name “Grupo Exterminador” was adopted in 1994, inspired by the film “Terminator,” marking a significant shift in their musical style towards corridos and rancheras.
The band’s breakthrough came in 1995 with the hit song “El Meneito,” which became a cultural phenomenon and solidified their status in the music industry.
Grupo Exterminador has faced various challenges, including controversies and lineup changes, yet they have consistently adapted and evolved their sound to maintain relevance.
The band continues to thrive, recently releasing new music and collaborating with notable artists, ensuring their legacy in the norteño genre remains strong.
