Banda Blanca
Banda Blanca is a Honduran conjunto formed in 1971. They began as a rock band but eventually integrated elements of merengue and punta rock into their music. The group rose to fame in 1990, when their song "Sopa de Caracol" became an international success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Songs in the United States, where it sold an estimated 1.5 million copies. Throughout their career, Banda Blanca have sold between two and five million records.
Their songs "Fiesta" and "Swing Latino" also reached American charts, and their 1991 album Baile Punta became a number-one hit on the Tropical Albums chart. That year, Banda Blanca received a Lo Nuestro award in the category Tropical – New Artist of the Year.
