AK-7, also known as "The Musical Phenomenon", is a Mexican Duranguense band formed in 2007. They released their first album with ten songs, three of them unpublished and a bonus track.

History[edit]

On May 28, 2007, 7 long-time members of the group of K-Paz De La Sierra left because of disputes with the former lead singer Sergio Gomez, and formed a new group named AK-7.[1] The name is derived from "Antes(Before) K-Paz" and the number of members that left. They released their first album soon after, El Avion de Las Tres, following their first single of the same name "El Avion De Las Tres".

On April 1, 2008, AK-7 announced they were recording a new album called Renaciendo. Singles from the album were "Digale" and "Hotel De Carretera".

On February 23, 2010, AK-7 released their third album, Reafirmando El Vuelo, with the singles "Loco Enamorado" and "El Diferente".

On November 10, 2010, AK-7 released their fourth album, Locura Romantica, with the singles "Dame Un Beso Y Dime Adios" and Locura Automatica
