Zayda y los Culpables (English: Zayda and the Guilty Ones) were a Regional Mexican band. They were famous for their romantic cumbias and ballads about love and loss. The song "Tiro de Gracia" (Coup de Grâce), describing a failed relationship,[1] was one of the most popular songs from the band.[2] The song "De Contrabando" was first recorded by the band and years later became a hit record for Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera.
