LATIN GRAMMY award-winning Reik is a Mexican Latin pop band formed in 2003 in Mexicali, Baja California. The group consists of lead vocalist Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas, guitarist Julio Ramírez Eguía, and guitarist Gilberto “Bibi” Marín, who joined the group in 2004. Reik is widely known for their smooth ballads and romantic pop sound, which has earned them significant popularity in the Latin music scene. Over the years, they have evolved musically, incorporating various genres into their repertoire, such as reggaeton, EDM, and more.
Early Career and Formation
Reik started as a duo with Jesús Navarro and Julio Ramírez performing acoustic versions of their songs. Their popularity grew in their hometown of Mexicali, and with the addition of Bibi Marín, they solidified their lineup and adopted the name “Reik.” The name comes from the word “rake,” which refers to the style of picking guitar strings, but they altered the spelling to make it catchier.

Rise to Fame (2005-2010)
Reik signed with Sony Music in 2004, and their self-titled debut album, “Reik” (2005), brought them immediate success. The album produced hits like “Yo Quisiera,” “Noviembre Sin Ti,” and “Qué Vida la Mía.” These songs became immensely popular, and the album earned them a Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
In 2006, they released their second album, “Secuencia,” which included singles like “Invierno” and “Sabes.” The album marked their consistent presence in the Latin pop genre. By 2008, their third album, “Un Día Más,” further solidified their status in the Latin music scene, earning them a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album.
Genre Expansion and Collaboration (2011-Present)
Reik continued to expand their musical horizons with “Peligro” (2011), an album that leaned more toward an electronic and dance-pop sound. This shift helped the band remain relevant and attract new fans. While they are known for their romantic ballads, Reik began experimenting more with reggaeton and urban music in the mid-2010s.
One of the pivotal moments in their evolution came with the release of the hit single “Me Niego” (2018), which featured reggaeton stars Ozuna and Wisin. This track was a major success, reaching high positions on various Latin charts and earning multiple platinum certifications. Reik continued to collaborate with prominent urban artists such as Maluma, J Balvin, and Bad Bunny, blending their romantic ballads with reggaeton beats.
Recent Projects
Reik released “Ahora” (2019), an album that embraced the Latin urban genre more fully, while still maintaining their signature romantic style. Singles like “Amigos con Derechos” (featuring Maluma) and “Aleluya” (featuring Manuel Turizo) reflected their genre crossover success.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they released “De México”, an acoustic EP that revisited their classic sound, showing their versatility and desire to maintain a connection with their early musical identity.
