1990s: Sombras En El Jardín and Mil Palabras Con Sus Dientes Bohemia Suburbana was formed in
Guatemala City in March, 1992. The band was founded by Guatemalans Juancarlos Barrios (guitar), José Pedro Mollinedo (drums), Giovanni Pinzón (vocals) and the
Colombian Juan Luis Lopera (bass). In 1993, the band released their first album, entitled
Sombras en el Jardín, as an
audio cassette, under the
record label Primera Generación Records. In 1994,
Peruvian keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Álvaro Rodriguez joined the band. In the same year, Primera Generación Records responded to the band's growing popularity by releasing a
compact disc of
Sombras en el Jardín. In 1994, Mollinedo left the group and the Guatemalan Alex Lobos joined the band. In 1995, Bohemia Suburbana traveled to
Miami, Florida, to record and produce their next album. The album,
Mil Palabras Con Sus Dientes, was released under the RadioVox label. The album included the tracks "Yo Te Vi" and "Peces e Iguanas." The album's popularity exposed Bohemia Suburbana to audiences outside of Guatemala and
Central America. The song "Peces e Iguanas" became a
radio hit. On the heels of the album's release, Bohemia Suburbana embarked on a tour that included shows in Guatemala, Central America,
Puerto Rico, and cities in the
United States. In 1996, Alex Lobos left the group. In 1997, under the stress and economic pressure of poor
management, the group stopped playing, and each member pursued his own projects. The band reunited in 1999 to play a reunion concert. At the same time, under the title
Remixes y La Emergencia de las Circunstancias, RadioVox released a disc that included
electronic versions of Bohemia's songs, composed by Juancarlos Barrios during the band's recess. The reunion concert, which broke attendance records in Guatemala, took place in
la vieja plaza de toros in Guatemala City. but lost to
Gustavo Cerati's Fuerza Natural.
