Reik is a Latin Grammy-winning Mexican band from Mexicali, Baja California formed by Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas (lead vocals), Julio Ramírez Eguía (guitar/background vocals), and Gilberto Marín Espinoza (guitar). The group's name actually means "rake" (as in raking the guitar's strings), but the band wanted their Mexican listeners to pronounce it correctly, hence, Reik.

In 2003, Abelardo Vazquez started their then-nascent musical project, tentatively called "Reik". Abelardo Vazzquez invited Jesús Navarro and Julio Ramirez to recorded their first demos, which were released through the Mexican underground club scene. Two of the most successful demos — "Levemente" and "Ahora Sin Ti" — brought more widespread coverage across Mexico. In early 2004, Reik invited Gilberto to join the band. They have been famous ever since, mainly in Latin America, Mexico, and southern parts of the United States. Their videos have been broadcast on famous music television channels, such as MTV and HTV. Their second album, Secuencia, was released on November 14, 2006, which featured the first single, "Invierno" (released on November 6), which gained a lot of popularity based Latin American airplay. In September 2008 Reik released their third studio album Un Día Más.

Reik released two new singles "Peligro" and "Dejate Llevar" from their fourth studio album titled "Peligro" which was released July 5, 2011.

Record Deal [link]

By mid-2004 Reik started to get the attention of various major record companies, including Sony Music which eventually signed the band. In May 2005 Reik released their self-titled debut album, produced by Abelardo Vazquez. The first single "Yo Quisiera" got heavy rotation on Mexican pop radio stations and soon went to number one. Their second single "Qué Vida La Mía" also topped the Mexican charts as did their third single "Noviembre Sin Ti". Their fourth single, "Niña", failed to match the success of their previous singles, charting only at #33.

    Reikou

    Reikou (麗紅 reikō) is a cultivar of tangor. It is a citrus hybrid of a hybrid of Kiyomi and Encore (Kiyomi–Encore No. 5) and Murcott tangor.

    Description

    The fruit can be easily peeled by hand. It has a sugar content of between 12% and 13%, with some fruits reaching 15%. The weight of a fruit is 210 grams, relatively large for a tangor, and the fruit is reddish-orange colour. It fruits in late January. It does not produce pollen, so it must be pollinated by another species of citrus.

    Its systematic name is Kankitsu Kuchinotsu 32 Gō (カンキツ口之津32号) after Kuchinotsu, Nagasaki where it was bred. It was hybridized in 1984, with its name registered in 2004 and the variety registered in 2005. The first fruits came on sale in 2007.

    Inolvidable

    by: Reik

    Era tan bella, era tan bella
    Que su mirada todavia me quema
    Como quisiera poderla olvidar
    Pero se acerca y no lo puedo evitar
    Por que cuando habla con sus ojos
    Dice cosas que no puedo entender
    Y se desnuda poco a poco
    Y se convierte en tu piel
    Y yo no se como vivir
    Si ya no puedo sacarla de aqui
    Que no daria por besarla
    Por abrazarla una vez mas
    Y ya no quiero dejarla escapar
    Si es que la puedo volver a encontrar
    No puedo perderla, por que solo es ella
    Inolvidable para mi corazon
    Inolvidable
    Fue como un cuento
    Se fue como el viento
    A veces me digo
    Que talvez me lo invento
    Si al menos pudiera
    Tener una prueba,
    Algun recuerdo de que estuve con ella
    Me estoy volviendo loco un poco
    Aveces me despierto
    Y siento aqui mi pena
    Que me susurra en el oido
    Y dice donde estas amor
    Y yo no se como vivir
    Si ya no puedo sacarla de aqui
    Que no daria por besarla
    Por abrazarla una vez mas
    Y ya no quiero dejarla escapar
    Si es que la puedo volver a encontrar
    No puedo perderla, por que solo es ella
    Inolvidable para mi corazon
    Inolvidable
    Y yo no se como vivir
    Si ya no puedo sacarla de aqui
    Que no daria por besarla
    Por abrazarla una vez mas
    Y ya no quiero dejarla escapar
    Si es que la puedo volver a encontrar
    No puedo perderla, por que solo es ella
    Inolvidable para mi corazon
