Mazz
Mazz ( MAH-z) was an American Tejano band formed by Joe López and Jimmy González in 1978 in Brownsville, Texas. The band was made known for their unique and innovative form of cumbia and ranchera. After moving to the Capitol/EMI Latin record label in 1989, they became one of the most popular Tejano bands during 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 (still with EMI Latin) and Jimmy González y Grupo Mazz in 1999 (with Freddie Records).
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.
