Jotdog (stylized as JotDog) is a Mexican pop band formed in Mexico City in 2009. The group consists of María Barracuda, born Maricela Morales Rodríguez (vocals and lyrics), and Jorge "La Chiquis" Amaro (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and vocals); formerly Jotdog's sound is indebted to the electronic era but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. They have maintained a recognisable sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by Amaro's music and Barracuda's expressive vocals. Their lyrics focus on personal themes such as unrequited love.

Background

Band members

Jotdog is a Mexican pop band formed by

sound engineer and arranger for Natalia Lafourcade, Maná, Ricardo Arjona, Timbiriche, and Víctimas del Doctor Cerebro;[3] María Barracuda had a solo career;.[3]
"From the beginning we thought of Mary [Barracuda] and me as members of the band, because since we met we knew we had chemistry working together in the musical field."

Recording process

Amaro and Barracuda got together in 2005 to develop songs for other artists, since they worked on Barracuda's debut album.

Moenia.[4] The tracks were produced by Amaro and the lyrics wrote by him and Barracuda.[4] The name of the band, as stated by Barracuda, was chosen since they wanted to relate to something that sounded very pop and a hot dog is something that may resemble the pop art of Andy Warhol, which clung an element of general culture and turned it into art, "so we take the hot dog and changed it."[4] About forming Jotdog, Amaro said: "We are doing it because we really needed, for that need to take new partners with whom you fall in love to see them in rehearse and you're not sick of playing with them.[5]

Their

Best Pop Vocal Album, Duo or Group, while the band was nominated for Best New Artist.[1] While reviewing the nominees for this category, Billboard magazine columnist Leila Cobo declared Jotdog as the early favorite to win, along Alex Cuba, since they were "popular in Mexico and with an alternative following built from years in other bands."[6] Alex Cuba won the award, while fellow Mexican band Camila received the award for Best Pop Vocal Album, Duo or Group.[7]

Second album and collaborations

Barracuda said about the second Jotdog album that they want to keep their electronic style, "but we want to experiment with other genres such as

León Polar, Natalia Lafourcade, Playa Limbo, Pambo, Amandititita, Ha*Ash, Kany García, Moenia, Nikki Clan, Los Leftlovers, Varana, Elis Paprika, and Smitten in a Tribute album to Spanish band Mecano.[8] The band performed the track "Maquillaje".[8]

Musical style

The Jotdog' musical style has generally been described as pop

synthpop.[3]
