Saúl Alfonso Hernández Estrada (born January 15, 1964), was the lead singer, main songwriter and guitarist of Caifanes, a Mexican rock en español group formed in 1986.[1]
In 1996, Saúl Hernández sang a duet with Algerian raï singer Khaled. The song, called Ki Kounti, is sung partially in Arabic and Spanish.[2]
After the Caifanes breakup, Saul Hernández formed a new band in late 1995, called Jaguares, along with former Caifanes drummer Alfonso André and two long time friends, Federico Fong on bass and José Manuel Aguilera on lead guitar. José Manuel Aguilera was involved in Jaguares' first studio album;[3] Cesar "Vampiro" Lopez later took over on lead guitar and has been in the band since. Since then, Jaguares has become one of rock en espagnol premier bands with both critical and commercial success.
