Timbiriche (also known for a short time as La Banda Timbiriche) was a famous Mexican pop music group. They started as a children's group in 1982. Over time, they grew up with their music, becoming popular with teens and adults too.

Timbiriche is seen as one of the most important Latin Pop groups from the 1980s and early 1990s. Many famous singers, actors, and composers started their careers in Timbiriche. Some well-known names include Thalía, Paulina Rubio, and Edith Márquez.

The band released twelve studio albums between 1982 and 1993. They also had live albums and special collections of their songs. Timbiriche is one of the most loved Latin Pop bands ever. They have reunited three times for special concerts. The first reunion was in 1998. The second was in 2007, celebrating 25 years since they began. The third reunion in 2017 had a tour where all tickets sold out!

The band also had a documentary film called La Misma Piedra. It showed what happened behind the scenes as they prepared for their 25th-anniversary tour and concerts. In 2007, a TV show helped find new members for the band.
