Panda was a Mexican rock band formed in Monterrey, Nuevo Len in 1996 as part of the musical movement known as Avanzada Regia. The last line-up consisted in singer Jos Madero, drummer Jorge Vsquez, lead guitarist Arturo Arredondo and bassist Ricardo Trevio.Founded by singer/guitarist Jos Madero, guitarist Jorge "Ongi" Garza, bass guitarist Ricardo Trevio and drummer David Castillo. In 1997, Vsquez replaced Castillo, which led to demo recordings and a deal with independent label Movic Records the following year. The band ended receiving local attention in 2000 with debut and second studio albums Arroz Con Leche and La Revancha Del Prncipe Charro. The next year, they were the opening act for American rock band Blink-182 during their brief tour in Mexico. This prompted Madero, who was working as a lawyer at the time, to drop out and continue their music career. By 2004, their major-label debut translated with success in follow-up Para Ti Con Desprecio. It reached gold and platinum status, with album sales over 200,000.
