<span class="mw-page-title-main">OV7</span> Mexican pop group

OV7, formerly known as La Onda Vaselina, is a Mexican Latin pop group formed in 1989, but it was not until the early 1990s that Onda Vaselina would begin to make their impact. La Onda Vaselina was formed with the members being children, but it was not until after they separated and reunited again in the late 1990s that they changed to "OV7" but then as adults. With a career spanning more than 30 years and several hits in the Latin American markets, OV7 remains as one of the most successful acts in Latin pop history. "OV7 " was the title used for the remaining band members since when they reunited in the late '90s, there were only seven of them in the group, hence the "7" in OV7. The reason for that title (OV7) was because due to legal rights of the "La Onda Vaselina" title, they could not use it as they were reuniting the group but not with all the other members.
