Grupo Marca Registrada built itself around Fidel Castro, the Culiacán singer, songwriter and accordionist who started the group in 2013, with Luis Fernando Medina on drums, Fidel Jiménez on bass and Ángel Móndragon on guitar and backing vocals. They came up playing Pacific norteño and corridos, then started sliding dance and electronic production in under the accordion, so the records land somewhere between a Sinaloa cantina and a club.
"Di Que Sí", their 2023 duet with Grupo Frontera written by Edgar Barrera, went to number one on Billboard's Regional Mexican Airplay chart and gave them their first Hot 100 entry at number 89. The album Don't Stop the Magic followed that May and reached number 187 on the Billboard 200. "El Rescate" with Junior H had already spent seven weeks on the Global 200, and in 2024 they got Julieta Venegas to recut her 2003 song "Andar Conmigo" as a norteño duet with Castro.
