History

Julión Álvarez served as a vocalist for Banda MS from 2003 to 2007, after which point he left the band to become a solo artist.^[5] On 12 February 2016 the band received an award from Monitor Latino for their song "Solo Con Verte", which was a number one song for twelve consecutive weeks on the chart. They received the award at the Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie, which also marked their first concert in their United States tour.^[6]

In July 2016, Banda MS's lead singer, Alan Ramirez, was shot in the neck in Mexico City while traveling to see his wife at a local hotel. During a press conference band member Oswaldo Silva stated that they did not believe that the shooter intended to murder Ramirez, nor did they believe that the shooting was drug-related, further stating that they did not have any ties with drug trafficking. Ramirez was not critically injured.^[7]
