Yndio

Grupo Yndio is a Mexican pop group from Sonora founded in 1972,^[1] by some of the members of the dissolute Los Pulpos.

The band is known for Spanish covers of English-language pop hits, but with a distinctive Grupero style.^[2][3] Their best known hits include "Melodía desencadenada", "Línea telefónica" and "Herida de amor," Spanish covers of "Unchained Melody", "Telephone Line" and "Love Hurts" respectively.^[4]

They had two number-one hits in Mexico:

• Their cover of "Él" was #1 for 4 weeks in 1973, alongside the original version by Los Strwck.
• Their Spanish-language cover of "We Said Goodbye" (titled "¿Por qué nos dijimos adiós?") in 1975, alongside the original version by Dave Maclean.
