Tijuana No! is a Mexican
EZLN, and made reference in their songs to racial, cultural, international, and governmental problems, like the immigration policies in the United States
. In 1991 they recorded their first album under an independent label, and one year later (1992) they released the same album (with some design changes) under Culebra Records (BMG), who gave them international recognition promoting the single Pobre de Ti (Poor You).
In its early stages they had the participation of Mexican singer
heart attack while he was watching television at his home in Tijuana
. He was discovered by one of his best friends, Paul Thomas, of No Cover Magazine. Thomas tried to revive Güereña to no avail.
The group officially disbanded in December 2002, although they have met occasionally to pay tribute to their companion Luis Güereña.
