Los Fugitivos is an American grupero from Los Angeles, California. The band was formed in 1985 as Grupo Kariño by brothers Jaime and Edi Espinoza. In 1991, with the addition singer-guitarist Roberto Nieto, the band rebranded as Los Fugitivos. Initially, they gained success with covers including "Esperando Por Ti," a Spanish-language version of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting." In 1993, they achieved their biggest hit with José Luis Perales' "La Loca," which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart. In 1998, they had another hit with a cover of Roberto Carlos' "Pajaro Herido," featured on their album Secretos. In 1999, Nieto was replaced by Hekar Rivero, and the band switched labels from PolyGram to Sony Discos, releasing their album "Mi Última Tentación" shortly after. Los Fugitivos recorded 10 albums, earning seven gold records and two platinum albums.
