Formed in the late '70s by keyboardist Virgilio Canales, Mexican/Regional band Liberación became a top-selling artist when the group received three golden records in 1992 for Entre Nubes. They won a Heraldo award in the category of Pop Music Revelation and reached triple-gold status once again in 1994 with Directo Al Corazón. Mainly playing Cumbia norteña and traditional ballads, Liberación's breakthrough came in the mid-'90s while touring the U.S.
