Jaguares

Jaguares is a Grammy and Latin Grammy winning Mexican alternative rock band formed by former Caifanes lead singer Saúl Hernández, after that band's break-up in 1995, because of personal differences with the Guitarist Alejandro Marcovich. He started the band along with former Caifanes co-member Alfonso André (drums); and two long time friends Federico Fong (bass guitar) and José Manuel Aguilera (lead guitar).

Soon after the release of their first album, El Equilibrio de los Jaguares, José Manuel dropped out of the band and Federico Fong took a break from the band, relatedly, as well. Saúl and Alfonso looked for a person who could replace José Manuel. After a period of time, Saúl found the perfect replacement, César López Garcia, most famously known as "El Vampiro" (During Saúl's time in Caifanes he once called "El Vampiro" to invite him to Caifanes, but his invitation was declined, because "El Vampiro" felt in a good position; He was in Azul Violeta during this time. He was also a member of Maná from 1991-1994.) The look for a guitarist was over, but the search for a bassist was still remaining. Sabo Romo, the ex-bassist of Caifanes, was invited to join Jaguares and he accepted. Saúl added one more musician to Jaguares, Jarris Margalli; Jarris did keyboards and samplers.
