CNCO was an American latin boy band based in Miami, Florida.[1] The group consisted of Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez and Zabdiel De Jesús; Joel Pimentel was a member until his departure in May 2021. They won a five-year recording contract with Sony Music Latin after becoming the winning competitors of the first season of La Banda. The band toured with Ricky Martin. Their debut and second singles "Tan Fácil" and "Quisiera", charted well soon after their debut.[2][3] They released their first album, Primera Cita, on August 26, 2016, which included the hit "Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos)".[4][5][6][7]

The group released their self-titled second studio album on April 6, 2018, which included the singles "Hey DJ", "Mamita" and "Se Vuelve Loca".[8] Their debut EP Que Quiénes Somos, containing the singles "De Cero" and "Pegao" (featuring Manuel Turizo), was released on October 11, 2019. Both albums debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and the top 40 on the Billboard 200, while the EP debuted within the top 15 of the former chart.

In 2020, they began the era of their album Déjà Vu, a visual cover album of Latin pop classics, with three singles released from November to December. On February 5, 2021, the band released the LP. The album was preceded by the fourth single and accompanied by the fifth on its release day.

On July 21, 2022, the band announced that they would be breaking up to focus on their solo careers but would continue as a group for another year and a half.[9] In August 2022, on the anniversary of their debut album's release, the boy band released their last studio album, titled XOXO, containing the singles "Toa La Noche", "La Equivocada" and "Pluton", featuring Mexican urban singer Kenia Os. Their final single "La Ultima Canción" was released in May 2023. The group officially disbanded on November 17, 2023.
