Puerto Rican pop duo
Sin Bandera is a Mexican duo who perform romantic ballads, consisting of Mexican singer-songwriter Leonel Garcia and Argentine-Mexican singer-songwriter Noel Schajris.

Biography
2002-2002: Formation, self-titled album
Leonel García (from Mexico) had the idea to be a soloist. He showed dexterity with the guitar and his voice, but this project remained frozen at the record companies; meanwhile, García wrote songs for other recognized artists from the 1990s such as Lynda Thomas. At the same time, Noel Schajris (from Argentina, now a nationalized Mexican) was preparing another solo album after making his debut in 1999. Both being musicians, composers and singers, they discovered the ideal formula to unite their talents and personalities in 2000.
There was immediate chemistry: they spoke about their favorite music, of the albums they bought, and about the singer-songwriters they were most interested in, and coincided in everything. The two wanted to sing, but Noel preferred the piano, and Leonel, the guitar, for which at no time there was collision of interests, but an integration of musical inclinations.
In their first meeting they wrote three songs during a single day.
