Emerging in 1991 from Aguascaliente, Mexico, the Latin pop group Samuray issued its debut LP Tiernas Mentiras under the leadership of vocalists Ignacio and Rogelio Romo. A string of subsequent releases failed to generate significant airplay across the U.S. and South America until the group unveiled the track “Contigo o Sin Ti” on its 1997 album Donde Vas Chiquilla. The following year brought Un Dia Sin Ti, after which Samuray resurfaced in 1999 with Con Estilo Ranchero, Vol. 2.
