Akwid Biography

Born in Jiquilpan, a small village in the Mexico, Francisco and Sergio Gomez left their native land at the age of 3 and 5, respectively, to relocate with their family to south central Los Angeles, California. The two brothers spent their childhood and teenage years in this neighborhood, taking their first steps on the bipolar path of the so-called Generacio, the new generation of bilingual and bi-cultural Latinos in the United States, the new face and sound of the 21st century America.

At home they grew up speaking Spanish and listening to Mexican music. Outside, however, the reality of the urban social environment where they evolved had visible African-American influences, which included everything from hip hop and colloquial English to urban fashion and the irresistible appeal of street rap.

The group emerged in this environment, bearing the influences of their own idols, such as AMG, NWA, Snoop Dog, DJ Quick, HI-C, and Second to None, whose music reflected current trends and personal experiences. Nevertheless, the call of their Latino blood and the memory of their childhood and its own melodic ghosts nested in the hearts of this duo until the end of the 90s. This trend manifests itself in the primary use of Spanish, as well as English.

This fusion has been the concept and essence of Akwid.

Their first album, Proyecto Akwid, won two Billboard Prizes and a Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.

Their 2004 album Hoy, Ayer, and Forever remixes several songs from the album 2002 using their more recent style, incorporating regional Mexican music. Their 2004 album KOMP 104.9 Radio Compa is in the form of a broadcast on a fictitious radio station that plays only Akwid, and their 2005 album Los Aguacates De Jiquilpan is in the form of a fairy tale explaining their arrival from Mexico to the U.S. They are currently signed to Universal's Machete Music.

Their song, "¡Chivas Explosivas!" is the official anthem for Club Deportivo Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.
