Tijuana No!


Tijuana No! is a Mexican ska, rock and punk band from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. In the beginning their name was Radio Chantaje , and later they became No, but upon the knowledge of another band called the same, they changed their name to No de Tijuana , and later just shortened it to Tijuana No!. They were characterized by the social criticism in their lyrics, where they also showed their support to the EZLN, and made reference in their songs to racial, cultural, international, and governmental problems, like the immigration policies in the United States. In 1991 they recorded their first album under an independent label, and one year later they released the same album under Culebra Records, who gave them international recognition promoting the single Pobre de Ti ''''.
In its early stages they had the participation of Mexican singer Julieta Venegas, who left the band and started a solo career. Luis Güereña, one of the three singers the group died in 2004 due to a heart attack while he was watching television at his home in Tijuana. He was discovered by one of his best friends, Paul Thomas, of No Cover Magazine. Thomas tried to revive Güereña to no avail.
The group officially disbanded in December 2002, although they occasionally met to pay tribute to their companion Luis Güereña.
