In 1995, after 20 years with Los Bukis, lead singer and songwriter Marco Antonio Solís decided to pursue a solo career, an agreement was made for neither Solís or the remaining band members to perform using the Purépecha name "buki" in any form. In accordance with the agreement, the remaining members of Los Bukis regrouped with Pedro Velázquez joining the group as lead vocalist. The members of Los Bukis renamed the band to Los Mismos, acknowledging that the new band is the same as Los Bukis, albeit with a different lead singer.
