The group consists of three brothers: DJ Payback Garcia (Javier Garcia), El Chivo (Eduardo Garcia) and Skribe (Manuel Garcia); originally from Iramuco, Guanajuato, Mexico,〔("Kinto Sol sees magic and power in the business of music" ), Ramiro Burr, MySA.com (''San Antonio Express-News''/KENS-TV), March 6, 2007.〕 they moved to the US at a very young age due to financial struggle. They rap mainly in Spanish, fusing traditional Mexican music with hip hop beats that makes their sound original and like no other. They own their own independent record label, Virus Enterprises LLC, which specializes in Latin hip hop. The group's name is a phonetic spelling of "quinto sol" (fifth sun) with a little hip hop twist, and is taken from an Aztec legend in which the Fifth Sun will be the last one to set in this lifetime. The Aztec's calendar was so sophisticated that even NASA is studying it to this day. The calendar stops at the year 2012 as the myth explains.〔(2012 legend at 5th sun )〕 ''Los Hijos Del Maiz'' was awarded the best Latin Hip Hop album of the year for its content and best sales history.〔(Billboard awards ) 〕 El Chivo has also released two independent solo albums. His latest album, ''Cicatrices'' reached number 5 on the Latin Billboard charts "Latin Rhythm Album" and it was an independent release with no backing of a major record label.〔(Billboard item on Cicatrices )〕 ''El Ultimo Suspiro'' (Last Sigh ) is the sixth studio album by Kinto Sol released on October 19, 2010 on Machete Music. The album debuted #1 in the Latin Billboard Charts Latin Rhythm.〔http://www.hiphopug.com/1/post/2010/11/hhug-interview-with-kinto-sol-el-ultimo-suspiro.html〕 ==Beginnings== Kinto Sol began when three brothers, “Skribe”, “DJ Payback Garcia” and “El Chivo,” set out to pursue their passion in music.
