CNCO were an American latin boy band based in Miami, Florida. The group consisted of Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez and Zabdiel De Jesús; Joel Pimentel was a member until his departure in May 2021. They won a five-year recording contract with Sony Music Latin after becoming the winning competitors of the first season of La Banda. The band toured with Ricky Martin. Their first two singles "Tan Fácil" and "Quisiera", charted well soon after their debut. They released their first album, Primera Cita, on August 26, 2016, which included the third single and mainstream hit "Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos)".

The group released their self-titled second studio album on April 6, 2018, which included the singles "Hey DJ", "Mamita" and "Se Vuelve Loca". Their debut EP Que Quiénes Somos, containing the singles "De Cero" and "Pegao" (featuring Manuel Turizo), was released on October 11, 2019. Both albums debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and the top 40 on the Billboard 200, while the EP debuted within the top 15 of the former chart.

In 2020, they began the era of their album Déjà Vu, a visual cover album of Latin pop classics, with three singles released from November to December. On February 5, 2021, the band released the LP. The album was preceded by the fourth single and accompanied by the fifth on its release day.

On July 21, 2022, the band announced that they would be breaking up to focus on their solo careers but would continue as a group for another year and a half. In August 2022, on the anniversary of their debut album's release, the boy band released their last studio album, titled XOXO, containing the singles "Toa La Noche", "La Equivocada", "Party, Humo & Alcohol" and "Pluton", featuring Mexican urban singer Kenia Os. Their final single "La Ultima Canción" was released in May 2023. The group officially disbanded on November 17, 2023 in Puerto Rico.

Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, Zabdiel De Jesús, Richard Camacho and Joel Pimentel auditioned for the first season of La Banda, a televised singing competition which started on Univision in September 2015, created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin. They all received 75% or more votes from the public during auditions except Colón, though he was saved by Martin. The band's members competed individually with other contestants from Latin America and the United States before the show's judges, Martin, Alejandro Sanz and Laura Pausini. The boys had to go through several phases to become the winners. During the competition, they were put into groups, with Camacho and De Jesús in the same band, while Vélez, Colón and Pimentel were in another. The band was formed on the finale of the show, on December 13, 2015, when they received their name, which alludes to the Spanish word for five, "cinco", and is pronounced in English as it is spelled: "C-N-C-O". They won a recording contract of 5 years with Sony Music Latin, and rapper Wisin was scheduled to produce their first album. Martin became their representative.

They performed the song "Devuélveme Mi Corazón" on the finale, which included performances by Pitbull, Fifth Harmony, Wisin, and a video congratulations from One Direction. They sang it again in Times Square at Univision's Feliz 2016 New Year's celebration.

On January 29, 2016, they released their debut single, "Tan Fácil", which debuted on Billboard's Latin Rhythm Airplay at number 25, number 23 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, and instantly topped the U.S. iTunes Latino charts, later peaking at number one on the Latin Airplay chart. On January 30, 2016, they held their first concert in The Fillmore Miami Beach.

On February 12, CNCO started touring as opening acts on Ricky Martin's One World Tour for some of his shows in the U.S., including Hollywood, Florida San Juan, Puerto Rico, and parts of South America, including Chile and Argentina.
