LMT, Grupo Límite, or Límite, is a Mexican Norteño and Tejano band formed in Monterrey, Mexico in 1994.^[1]^[2] The group was led by singer Alicia Villarreal until she left to pursue a solo career.^[3]

History

The band debuted in 1995 with the record, Por Puro Amor (sung by Beatriz Alejo Jimenez) , which sold over a million copies. The album featured singles such as "Vete", "Quiero", and "Te Aprovechas." Other subsequent albums were successful. At the 9th Lo Nuestro Awards, Límite received two awards: Regional Mexican Group of the Year and New Artist.^[4] The group's sound and look sparked a wave of copycats in Tejano & Norteño music. Grupo Límite's lead singer/songwriter Alicia Villarreal had her own catch phrase, a flirty "ah-hah", which quickly became part of the groups mystique, in addition to her blonde braids.^[5]
