Encyclopedia
Resorte is a Mexican
nu metal
band formed in 1995.
, which groups such as Rage Against the Machine
and KoRn
had already been promoting in the U.S. That same year, Resorte made an independent music video for "America" that was the band's first achievement and would become the band's anthem. This video fell into the hands of MTV
and began receiving cable play, which enabled the group to be known.
After many concerts, in June 1997, Resorte released República de Ciegos thru Discos Manicomio. These were moments of gestation for the musical movement that came in that spring. There had been a musical explosion in Mexico, and the band's compatriots Molotov
released their first album a month later.
Resorte participated in festivals and multiple concerts for thousands of people. In September 1999, the group released their second album XL. Its release represented a new push for the band and it was then when Resorte got its first taste of real fame, receiving radio and television play and reaching the Top 10 on MTV
. By then they were opening concerts for internationally known bands such as Limp Bizkit
and Papa Roach
.
Resorte took a short break in 2001 to work a new material eventually to become Versión 3.0. Carlos "Charal" Sánchezm the band's drummer and co-founder, had already left the band to be with his family. The label Manicomio shut down operations and Resorte was forced to find another recording label.
Resorte eventually signed with Warner Bros.
to release its third album. Rebota (f=k x) was released in 2002, with the addition of a new vocalist, "Pato" Elizalde, a member of the hip-hop group Control Machete
. This work represented Resorte's peak in musical quality, with excellent production and sound, having been recorded in two major studios in the U.S.
However, "Pato" returned to his previous group Control Machete and sales were not as high as expected.
Respect at the national level for Resorte is evident, it headlines all the presentations they perform in.
In May 2006, Resorte performed in the Vive Latino
festival and in November in Corona Music Fest. In late 2007, Tavo participated in the song "Chinga los Racistas" of the Mexican hip-hop group Cartel de Santa
and was a special guest on the third album of Argentinian rapcore
band Timmy O' Tool.
