Television is a vital part of Mexican culture. Producers of soap operas will try almost anything to capture audiences. Adapted from the Argentine soap opera Rebelde Way, Rebelde is a Mexican soap opera whose producer had an idea that would capture his audience. The idea was to create a musical group for the soap opera that would support the characters and further storylines. In 2004, RBD was created.

The band quickly became much more popular than the soap opera. Soon the television audience was more concerned with hearing the music of RBD than they were with the storylines of the soap opera. As a result, Rebelde had only three seasons: 2004, 2005, and 2006. Then began a new television series called RBD - La Familia, meaning RBD - The Family, starring the members of the band: Dulce Mara, Anah, Christian Chvez, Maite Perroni, Cristopher Uckermann and Alfonso Herrera. The thirteen chapters that make up the first season document the different aspects of the band's life: the concerts, backstage, recording in the studio, and the personal life of each member.

The group has already recorded albums in three different languages including Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The band's greatest success has been in Brazil, but they have followers from around the world. The band is known in almost all of Latin America except Argentina, where they still have not released any albums. The most surprising thing about the group is the amount of awards they have been nominated for and won in the four years they have been in the music industry.

In the World Music Awards, they were nominated for the "Best Latin Artist on the World." In the Latin Grammy Awards, they were nominated for "Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal." In the Premios Juventud, or Young People's Awards, they were nominated for twenty-one awards and won seventeen. They won, in Brazil, "Best Duo or Group" and "Melhor Banda Internacional", or "Best International Band."

Nominated for awards in thirteen different categories in the Billboard Latin Music Awards, RBD has won such awards as: "Tour Generacin 2006" for Latin Tour of the Year, "Solo Qudate en Silencio" (Just Stay in Silence) for Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year - Duo or Group, and "Rebelde" (Rebel) and "Celestial" for Latin Pop Album of the Year 2006 and 2007.

"Tour Generacin RBD" was the fourth most sold tour in Mexico with Cure as the first, followed by Britney Spears as the second, and The Backstreet Boys as the third.

Although RBD was created to promote a soap opera, they soon grew to become a musical group with a fan base far beyond that of a soap opera audience. With their own independent success in the music industry, it is likely that they will continue with great success in the future. They deserve to win many more awards. I have enjoyed just writing about this remarkable band!
