All former members of the popular Mexican band
Timbiriche, which formed when they were pre-teens in the early '80s,
Sasha, Benny y Erik is the adult trio of
Sasha Sokol,
Benny Ibarra, and
Erik Rubin. Offering a guitar-based adult-alternative pop, they debuted with the live album Primera Fila on Sony Music in 2012, and followed it with live shows in Mexico and the U.S. The success of that tour prompted another live release, the CD/DVD combo En Vivo Desde el Auditorio Nacional in 2013. Their first studio album,
Vuelta al Sol, arrived a year later and hit the Top 20 of Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart. A live album offering a mix of new songs and hits, 2016's
Entre Amigos, also reached the Latin pop Top 20. Despite their quick and steady success, the trio announced in June 2016 that they were disbanding to focus on solo projects. ~ Marcy Donelson
