Mazz
Mazz ( MAH-z) was an American Tejano band formed by singer Joe López and guitarist and arranger Jimmy González in 1978 in Brownsville, Texas. The band became known for their unique and innovative form of rancheras and cumbia. After signing with the then-upcoming record label Capitol/EMI Latin in 1989, they would become one of the most popular Tejano bands during the genre's 1990s golden age.
Mazz disbanded in 1998, with frontmen López and González going on to form, respectively, Joe López y la Nueva Imagen Mazz in 2001 and Jimmy González y Grupo Mazz in 1999.
In 2006, López was convicted of and imprisoned for sexually assaulting his niece. After his release in 2018, he formed Joe López y Grupo Mazz and continues to write, record, and perform.
