Arquivolta emerged in early 2009 in Mexico City, a project integrated by Mike Garcia (vocals), Gabriel Ponce (bass), Leo Diaz (guitar, synthesizers and vocals), Kbto (bass and vocals) and Joseph "Ganso" Mena (drums and percussion).
The sound that the band projects on stage and in studio is located within the rock genre. However, Arquivolta presents light shades of electronic, rock, funk and pop music that, with the simultaneous use of two electric basses and string synthesizers, gives a distinct nature and a fresh style, standing at the forefront of mexican rock in spanish language.
