Los Bukis ("The Bukis", buki translates as Little Kid in Yaqui language) was a Mexican music band from Ario de Rosales, Michoacán. It was founded by cousins Marco Antonio Solís and Joel Solís in the 1970s. Their first song was Falso Amor ("False love") and its style became popular in Latin America. Marco Antonio wrote the songs and the album sold one million records in one year earning the album "diamond" status.
Marco Antonio Solís also wrote and produced albums for artists such as Marisela, Rocío Dúrcal, Beatriz Adriana, El Pegasso de Emilio Reyna (now using the name El Pega Pega) and María Sorté. After years of a success with "Los Bukis", Marco decided to pursue a solo career. An agreement was made with the remaining band members, both parties agreed to not make any use of the name buki. The remaining members formed a new band called Los Mismos ("The Same Ones") as in "the same members of Los Bukis".
