Rbd: A Band Created For Success

By: Jason Lancaster

Television is a vital part of Mexican culture. Producers of soap operas will try almost anything to capture audiences. Adapted from the Argentine soap opera Rebelde Way, Rebelde is a Mexican soap opera whose producer had an idea that would capture his audience. The idea was to create a musical group for the soap opera that would support the characters and further storylines. In 2004, RBD was created.

The popularity of the band soon exceeded that of the soap opera. As the television audience became fans of the band, they wanted to hear RBD's music more than watching the show. The show aired for three seasons only: 2004, 2005, and 2006. A new television series emerged to document the life of RBD and its members: Maite Perroni, Anah, Cristopher Uckermann, Dulce Mara, Alfonso Herrera, and Christian Chvez. The first season of RBD - La Familia, which means RBD - The Family, has thirteen chapters about the band's life which include: the personal life of each member, recording in the studio, the concerts and backstage.

The group has already recorded albums in three different languages including Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The band's greatest success has been in Brazil, but they have followers from around the world. The band is known in almost all of Latin America except Argentina, where they still have not released any albums. The most surprising thing about the group is the amount of awards they have been nominated for and won in the four years they have been in the music industry.

They have been nominated for the "Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal" in the Latin Grammy Awards, and "Best Latin Artist on the World" in the World Music Awards. They have won in seventeen categories out of the twenty-one for which they were nominated in the Premios Juventud (Young People's Awards). In Brazil, they have won the titles "Best Duo or Group" and "Melhor Banda Internacional" (Best International Band).

In the Billboard Latin Music Awards, they have been nominated in thirteen different categories and won awards including: "Solo Qudate en Silencio," meaning "Just Stay in Silence," for Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year - Duo or Group, "Rebelde" and "Celestial" for Latin Pop Album of the Year 2006 and 2007, and "Tour Generacin 2006" for Latin Tour of the Year.

The fourth most sold out tour in Mexico was "Tour Generacin RBD" following The Cure, Britney Spears, and The Backstreet Boys.

Although RBD was created to promote a soap opera, they soon grew to become a musical group with a fan base far beyond that of a soap opera audience. With their own independent success in the music industry, it is likely that they will continue with great success in the future. They deserve to win many more awards. I have enjoyed just writing about this remarkable band!
