Biography

Mexico City, Mexico (1982 – 1994, 2007 – present)

Timbiriche is the name of a Mexican group that debuted on April 30, 1982 during a broadcast of the news program Hoy Mismo with Guillermo Ochoa. Timbiriche included six children, most of whose parents were famous actors/singers/composers. Their names were Paulina Rubio, Sasha Sokol, Benny Ibarra, Diego Schoening, Mariana Garza, and Alix Bauer. Later on, Erick Rubín would join the sextet. The name “Timbiriche” is the Spanish (Latin American Spanish) version of the game Dots and Boxes.

In 1985, the group starred in the teenage version of the stage production of Grease (Vaselina in Spanish), going on tour to major cities in Mexico.

By 1986, when they were all teenagers, the band’s fame was almost at its highest. Thalía replaces Sasha and Eduardo Capetillo replaces Benny Ibarra, but they continue to succeed. Sasha’s leaving of the group was very hard for the fans to accept as she was one of the favorites, and Thalia had a lot to live up to.

Other famous replacements for the original members of the group were Bibi Gaytan and Edith Márquez. Diego Schoening was the only one to never leave the group.

In 1990, the album 10 was released with the same success as the previous album.

In 1992, most of the members left the group and where replaced with new ones. They released 11. Surprisingly, the group managed to maintain its popularity. The final album released was 12. After that album, the group officially ended.

In 1998, the original group reunited for the Mexican summer show Acapulco ‘98. With the success of the reunion show, a 4-night engagement was booked at the National Auditorium in Mexico City. The 10,000 seat auditorium sold out quickly, generating the need for at least 16 shows.
