Límite
Grupo Límite, or Límite, is a Mexican Latin Grammy winning Norteño/Tejano band formed in Monterrey, Mexico in 1994. The group was led by singer Alicia Villarreal until she left to pursue a solo career. The group then recruited new lead singer Lizeth Estrada Villanueva.
The band debuted in 1995 with the record, Por Puro Amor (sung by Beatriz Alejo Jimenez) , which sold over a million copies. The album featured singles such as "Vete", "Quiero", and "Te Aprovechas." Other subsequent albums were successful. At the 9th Lo Nuestro Awards, Límite received two awards: Regional Mexican Group of the Year and New Artist. The group's sound and looked sparked a wave of copy cats in the Tejano & Norteño music. Grupo Límite's lead singer/songwriter Alicia Villarreal had her own catch phrase, a flirty "ah-hah", which quickly became part of the groups mystique, as was her blond braids. The album's energetic style and female lead vocals drew inevitable comparisions to Selena. In fact, Límite is one of the few Mexico-based groups to be embraced by Tejano fans, who generally prefer their music made in Texas.
