**Bio: Los Reyes del Rock** Los Reyes del Rock is a Mexican Rock 'N Roll band formed in Mexico City in 1958. They are best known for their hit "La Hiedra Venenosa," a Spanish version of "Poison Ivy" by The Coasters. The band was one of the pioneers in the first wave of Rock sung in Spanish, where translating popular rock songs into Spanish was common. Initially known as "Los Reyes del Rock," they changed their name to "Los Rebeldes del Rock" shortly after their formation. The original line-up included Antonio de la Villa Verdez Sánchez on vocals, Francisco "Abuelo" Domínguez on piano, Guillermo Américo Tena on requinto guitar, José María "Chema" Silva on drums, Waldo Tena on guitar, and Marco Polo Tena on bass. Their rise to fame occurred in 1960 when Johnny Laboriel joined the band as their third lead vocalist. Laboriel recorded four albums with the band before embarking on a solo career in 1964. That same year, they released a fifth and final album featuring new singer Roberto "Baby" Moreno, after which the band broke up. Since the mid-1970s, Los Reyes del Rock has experienced numerous line-up changes and has made sporadic appearances on television and in concerts, but they have not recorded new material since the 1960s.
