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.
Tentación

Me echo un pase para entrar en la loqueara
Te miro llegar y las luces reflejan
Todos te miraban, yo con boca abierta
Una tentación me dio poderte besar
Llevarte arriba, laquearnos la puerta
Cada santita, solita se revela
No paraba de mirarte y te me acercas
Me sacas a bailar, no me lo esperaba
Todos los vatos envidia me tiraban
Es que mírate, qué bella te luces
Todavía yo no se porque me escogistes
Tu cuerpo con el mío fue perfección, sentí algo
La rola se acababa, ahí me sacas a un cuarto oscuro
Mami, la neta que tus besos si matan
Eran un veneno pero me encantaban
Lo que a mí me gusta que eres niña mala
En la espalda con tus uñas me marcabas
Eres diferente, nadie se te iguala
Nunca me había sentido así como estaba
Contigo todo mi cuerpo se vibraba
Cuando te vi, mis ojos se iluminaban
De a fin de cuenta tuve lo que deseaba
Quede adicto lo nuestro no acaba
Es que mírate, qué bella te luces
Todavía yo no sé por qué me escogiste
Tu cuerpo con el mío fue perfección, sentí algo
No era amor, fue devoción y si quieres repetimos
The lyrics to "Tentacion" by Eslabon Armado convey the story of a young man who attends a late-night party and is immediately captivated by the beauty of a particular woman. He feels an intense desire to kiss her and be with her intimately. He is surprised when she takes notice of him and asks him to dance, causing other men at the party to envy him. As they dance, he feels a strong connection with her and is ultimately led by her to a dark room where they engage in a romantic encounter.
The song is about the allure of physical attraction and the desire to be with someone intimately. The lyrics capture the excitement and thrill of the moment, as well as the confusion that can come with such encounters. The singer is swept up in the moment and is unsure whether what he feels is true love or simply infatuation.
Overall, the song captures the essence of a passionate encounter and the intense emotions that come with it. It is a reflection on the complexities of human desire and the powerful forces that can drive us towards physical intimacy.

Exotic Flavorz TV Karma😂? He is a businessman, would you allow a band to keep using your platform without you getting a cut. He dumped this band because they were not making a cent.
