Banda Blanca is a Honduran musical group formed in 1971. They began as a rock band but eventually integrated elements of merengue and punta rock into their music.[1] The group rose to fame in 1990, when their song "Sopa de Caracol" became an international success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Songs in the United States.[2] Their songs "Fiesta" and "Swing Latino" also reached the American charts.[3] Their album Baila Blanca became a number-one hit on the Tropical Albums chart.[4][better source needed] In 1991, they received a Lo Nuestro award in the category Tropical – New Artist of the Year.[5]
