Los de Abajo are a band from Mexico City founded in 1992 as a Latin ska four-piece band. Since then they have expanded to eight members and widened their musical influences to include rock, salsa, reggae, cumbia, Son Jarocho and banda sinaloense. Founder member Liber Terán is the main vocalist and writes many of the songs, although all band members receive equal pay for their contributions. The band was unable to secure a record deal in Mexico, as their music was considered to be insufficiently commercial
