Originally known as Grupo Pesado, the Norteno group Pesado was founded by frontman Beto Zapata in 1993 in Nueva Leon, Mexico. They debuted with the album Ayudame A Olvidar, released by MCM. Llegó El Amor followed in 1994, soon achieving gold status. The following year, they scored a major hit with "Eso Me Gusta." In 1997, original bass player Rodolfo Gajardo was replaced by Juan Antonio Pequeño. A new lineup change occurred in 1999 when ex-Grupo Límite drummer Luis Mario Garza took Mario Padilla's place. By the time of their seventh LP, 1999's A Tu Encuentro, Pesado had signed to the new WeaMEX imprint, who would issue a series of greatest hits albums for the group at the turn of the millennium. Todo Tuyo was issued in early 2001. ~ Jason Ankeny & Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
