Biography
Enjambre is a Mexican rock and indie rock band originally from Fresnillo, Zacatecas. It consists of brothers Luis Humberto, Rafael, and Julián Navejas, their cousin Isaac Navejas, and Ángel Sánchez. Javier Mejía was a member of the group until his departure in 2021. The band settled in Santa Ana, California, in 2001 and continued developing back in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, where they began recording professionally in 2005.
In 1994, Luis Humberto, Rafael, and César Sánchez formed a group called Los Cuatro Fantásticos in Fresnillo. Years later, after emigrating to the United States, they had to abandon the project, but once settled in California, they formed Enjambre in 2001 with their cousin Romeo Navejas. However, Romeo's time with the band lasted just over a year. The name—Enjambre—alludes to a swarm of bees, derived from the surnames of the band members: Navejas.
