Cruz Lizárraga founded the band when he was a young man and shaped the band to what you see today. He named the band after his own name and the town of his birth. He also discovered each musician. The instruments that make up the band consist of four clarinets, three trumpets, a tambora, a tarola, a tuba, three trombones, two alto horns and two singers.
The band is highly popular in Mexico and have played several very expensive shows and private parties. Their discography is enormous but just a few of their famous albums include their 1979 hit 'El Sinaloense', their 2014 'Haciendo Historia' and their 1992 '13 Rancheras Y Cumbias' which was followed by their 1993 album '16 Rancheras Y Cumbias'.

The Mexican banda group have been going strong since way back in the early 1940s, and are still performing today. Of course the line up has changed extensively since the original group, it’s lovely that the legacy of the band continues in new members who bring a new spirit to the group, and go on to create new and exciting music.
The band opened the show with the title track from the first ever ablbum Banda el Recodo from back in the 50s, and performed a few of the classics before moving onto their newer material from La Mejor de Todas, and Haciendo Historia. And indeed they are making history with the group having been together in various shapes and forms for so long. Seeing them live is incredible, with the live brass instrument, great vocals that harmonise brilliantly with each other, and the fabulous drummer holding the group together. Although the music is predominantly in Spanish, it’s really not a problem if you don’t speak the language, because the tunes are so catchy and the musicality is perfect, so you feel as if you understand the narrative through the melody.

Many would argue that La Banda el Recodo is less of a band and more of a Mexican institution. Under the direction of the Lizárraga family, this group has been performing as a collective under the pseudonym for over 70 years.
The group has remained relatively intact over the years which is a feat in itself due to the longevity of their career. The huge amount of musicians onstage adds to the overall rich Latino sounds of their music. Every musician is very aware of everybody else onstage and they keep in time and harmonised throughout the evening. It is a great celebration of quite an old music genre and the multi-instrumentalists give their all whilst onstage. It is a testament to Mexican culture for preserving this style of music and the devotion of the fans allows it to stay alive.

A great concert! Absolutely amazing! Great coordinated effort between the best Mariachi in the world and the best Band in the world! Definitely worth the investment.
