Bronco is a Mexican grupero band formed in 1979 in Apodaca, Nuevo León. The original lineup included José Guadalupe Esparza, Ramiro Delgado, Javier Villarreal, and José Luis 'Choche' Villarreal. They developed a modern Norteño sound incorporating keyboards and melodic pop elements, often performing in matching jumpsuits. The band achieved success with albums like Bronco Super Bronco (1987), A Todo Galope, and Bronco Amigo, earning 37 gold and 20 platinum records by 1997. They disbanded after a farewell tour that year but reformed in 2003, navigating name disputes by using 'El Gigante de America' in Mexico while retaining 'Bronco' internationally. Notable events include the deaths of keyboardist Erick Garza in 2012 and Choche Villarreal later that year. Bronco is known for energetic live performances blending grupero and Tejano influences, drawing large crowds with their accordion-driven sets and cultural resonance in Latino communities.
