Eslabon Armado was founded in 2017 by Two brother and One teen friends: lead vocalist and requinto guitarist Pedro Tovar (also the band's songwriter), guitarist/harmony vocalist Gabriel Hidalgo, and acoustic bassist/bajoloche player Brian Tovar, who also sings harmony. As individuals, the trio's members were deeply influenced by the music of their parents' generation. Before branching out to write original material, they'd studied and played rancheras and norteño music since they were small children. As teens, however, they absorbed the inspiration of sierreña music as played by its most important practitioner: the late, chart-topping Regional Mexican artist Ariel Camacho with Los Plebes del Rancho. After his passing in 2015, a gap remained in the genre. When Eslabon Armado formed (they were named by Pedro and Bryan's father, an amateur songwriter), they pursued a slightly different approach. They sought to create an alternative music that melded various instruments, all while based on the guitar approach of the sierra style. The trio released live videos to YouTube and other social media channels. Unbeknownst to them, their videos and songs had been heard by Del Records' boss and impresario, Ángel del Villar. He sought them out and signed them before any other label could.
The band's first single and video for "Con Tus Besos" (a song Pedro Tovar felt was not up to snuff) was issued in late March 2020. It peaked at number 21 on the Hot Latin Songs charts and at 16 on the Latin Streaming Songs list a week later. In May, Eslabon Armado issued their debut long player, Tu Veneno Mortal. The ten-song set, which wove mariachi and banda horns into some songs, entered the Regional Mexican albums chart at number two -- it eventually reached number one -- and the Top Latin Albums list at seven. The group followed the release in June with the non-album single and video "La Trokita." The latter rang up over a million views in its first two weeks of release.
Vibras de Noche
Just five months later, they followed with the 14-song Vibras de Noche, which reached number one at both Latin Albums and Mexican Regional Albums and peaked at 18 on the Top 200. In December, they struck again with the 22-track Corta Venas, their third chart-topping Mexican Regional Albums entry in three tries; the recording also placed at two on the Latin Albums list and reached number 56 on the Top 200.

Y la fiesta no se acababa
Yo te miraba pasar
Con ganas tenía para hablar
Mis amigos me decían
Que te sacara para bailar
Me daban mariposas
Y es que tú bailabas
En forma que matas
Todos te miraban
Muchas encelabas
Luego tú me sacas
Con esa mirada
Mi cuerpo temblaba
Cuando te acercabas
Puro Eslabón Armado chiquitita
Tomamos Buchannitas
Y también fumamos sin parar
Me gusta que eres mala
Todo el tiempo tú me besabas
Sabrá Dios por qué andabas
Conmigo entre tantos que había
Pero tú disfrutabas
De mi cuerpo cuando al bailar
Es que tú bailabas
En forma que matas
Todos te miraban
Muchas encelabas
Luego tú me sacas
Con esa mirada
Mi cuerpo temblaba
La noche era larga
La noche era larga
La noche era larga
In the song "Mariposas" by Eslabon Armado, the singer tells the story of a night when he met a beautiful woman at a party. It was late at night, and the party was still going strong. The singer watched as the woman passed by, feeling a strong desire to talk to her. His friends urged him to ask her to dance, as she was the most beautiful woman there. Watching her dance, he was filled with envy as everyone looked at her. Eventually, she asked him to dance, and he was overwhelmed with excitement when she came up to him.
The two of them drank "Buchannitas" and smoked throughout the night, and the singer was intrigued by her bad behavior. Despite his own insecurities about why she chose to be with him, the woman seemed to enjoy his company, especially on the dance floor. She danced in a way that made her stand out from the other women in the room, and the singer was thrilled that she chose him to be her dance partner.

Dos, tres de la mañana y la fiesta no se acababa

Me daban mariposas, eras la única hermosa
Es que tú bailabas en forma que matas
Todos te miraban, muchas encelabas
Luego tú me sacas con esa mirada
Mi cuerpo temblaba cuando te acercabas
Puro Eslabón Armado, chiquitita
Tomamos Buchanitas y también fumamos sin parar
Me gusta que eres mala, todo el tiempo tú me besabas
Sabrá Dios por qué andabas conmigo entre tantos que habían
Pero tú disfrutabas en mi cuerpo cuando al bailar
Es que tú bailabas en forma quе matas
Todos te miraban, muchas encelabas
Luеgo tú me sacas con esa mirada
Mi cuerpo temblaba, la noche era larga
La noche era larga
