Who Marco Antonio Solís is
Marco Antonio Solís, known to fans as El Buki, is the Mexican singer and songwriter who led Los Bukis and then built a solo career in Latin pop and grupero (a Mexican regional pop style built on keyboards, guitars and romantic lyrics). A ticket to see him buys a night of songs that span generations of the same families, which is why his audiences mix grandparents, parents and children.
Born Marco Antonio Solís Sosa on December 29, 1959, in Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, he formed Los Bukis there in 1973 and served as its lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter. Hits such as "Tu Cárcel," "Y Ahora Te Vas" and "Mi Mayor Necesidad" made the group one of the defining Mexican acts of its era before it split in the mid-1990s. His solo debut, En Pleno Vuelo, followed in 1996. He has won five Latin Grammy Awards, entered the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame in 2000, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 5, 2010, and was named the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year in 2022.
What an El Buki concert is like
The show is built on his songbook. Romantic ballads such as "Si No Te Hubieras Ido," "Más Que Tu Amigo" and "O Me Voy o Te Vas" carry the night, and the crowd sings along loudly enough that the audience is part of the sound.
Musically, expect a full band rather than a stripped-down set, moving between Latin pop, cumbia rhythms and the keyboard-led grupero sound of the Los Bukis years. Because so many songs are sing-alongs, the experience depends less on being close to the stage than on being in a section with good sound and a clear view of the screens.
The Los Bukis reunion and recent tours
The runs below are documented in this page's sources. Current dates appear in the live event list.
- Una Historia Cantada (2021): Los Bukis reunited in 2021, 25 years after disbanding, and opened the tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, before about 70,000 people at a sold-out show. Early dates also included Soldier Field in Chicago and Oakland.
- Una Historia Cantada, second round (2022): a second leg began in Los Angeles on August 18, 2022, extended into Mexico and closed in Monterrey in December 2022.
- El Buki, La Gira Mundial (2023 to 2024): a solo tour later renamed Eternamente Agradecido, marking 45 years of his career with dates across Latin America.
He has also appeared repeatedly at Chile's Viña del Mar Festival, including in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2016 and 2019.
Where to sit for Marco Antonio Solís
His solo tours mostly play arenas, while the Los Bukis reunion moved to stadiums. The right seat depends on the room.
Arenas
- Lower bowl facing the stage: the best choice for a vocal, ballad-heavy show. You hear the mix as intended and see him without craning toward a screen.
- Floor: closest to the stage, but usually flat, so rows toward the back of the floor see mostly heads and screens. Floor seats suit fans who want to be near him for the biggest songs.
- Upper level center: the value tier. Because this crowd sings every word, the atmosphere carries all the way up, and a centered upper seat often beats a low corner seat with a sharp angle.
Stadiums
At stadium scale, sit in front of the stage and close to the center line, where the sound is mixed. Seats far down the sides can reduce the stage to a sliver, and the screens become the show. Plan for long lines at entry and exit, and arrive early.
Groups and families
Many fans attend as families. If your group spans ages, an aisle-adjacent block in the lower bowl makes breaks easier than seats deep in the middle of a floor row.
How demand for El Buki tickets behaves
Demand for Marco Antonio Solís tracks his cross-generational audience.
- Regional strength. Demand concentrates in metro areas with large Mexican and Mexican-American communities; the Los Bukis reunion opened at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles and played Soldier Field in Chicago.
- Family groups. Large groups buying blocks of seats together can thin out adjacent inventory early, so buy sooner if you need four or more seats side by side.
- Weekend dates. Friday and Saturday shows are easier for multigenerational groups to attend and often sell ahead of weeknights.
- Late movement. Resale prices can sit above or below face value and may shift in the final days before a show.
