Grupo Rana is a salsa group founded in Guatemala. Rana began in 1974 with 6 members who regularly worked playing music for restaurants and events. In 1984 they decided to record their own music with what initiates their career as Grupo Rana. Due to the success of its founders they decided to increase the number of members and formed a band of 13 musicians, which gave them the freedom of more elaborate and complex compositions In the mid 1980s, the group was consolidated and became one of the most iconic bands at national level. In 1985, the group secured a contract with Central Records (DIDECA) and recorded their first full-length album titled Aquí, Rana El Grupo. That same year they achieved great success with more hits such as Colombia Rock, No Sonríes, El Mangú and Patacón Pisao, allowing it to be considered one of the best groups from Central America and Guatemala. In 1986 they released their third full-length: De La Cabeza a Los Pies, containing hits such as Esa Chica, Oye Muchacha and Sentimiento Nacional.
