Mazatlan cradle of the Banda Sinaloense: Large groups have been successful worldwide.
Whether in Mazatlán, in the state of Sinaloa or somewhere in the world, all of us at some point have heard the traditional Banda Sinaloense.
And it is that this type of music has transcended borders to exorbitant levels.
First we must know the origin of this traditional and popular musical genre, it was born in the state of Sinaloa, which is culturally established in the early twenties. It contains European remnants in the instruments it uses, which is the product of migration from Eastern Europe to that region of the country.
With it, a varied report is interpreted in the musical forms, in which traditional sounds, rancheras, corridos, ballads, cumbias among many others predominate, all of them adapted to the musical taste of the inhabitants of this Mexican region.
But in order to give life to the Sinaloan band, some instruments are needed to play which are: Caja or tarola (military drum), Bass drum or tambora, Trombone, Trumpet, Clarinet, one or two Alto Saxores (charcheta or cococha), Sousaphone or tuba and Tarolas.
These are the basic instruments to interpret traditional regional music and that together make up what we know as an internationally known Sinaloan band.
In Mazatlán it is extremely common to find these groups in all corners of the city, whether it is entertaining parties such as weddings, 15 years and other events, in social gatherings, mass events or at concerts it is always a delight to be able to listen to that type of music.
But without a doubt, where else we can find these incredible bands is on the beaches of Mazatlan, since when you go to spend a pleasant day with family or friends at the beach, you can hire or enjoy live band music in full color.
If your passion is traditional regional music or Sinaloan band, we recommend staying in hotels on the beach on your next visit to Mazatlán so that you can enjoy it at any time of the day.
Large groups and singers from the state of Sinaloa have stood out in this genre worldwide, among which are: La Arrolladora banda el limon, Banda MS, the Original banda el limon, banda los Recoditos, La Adictiva, Regulo Caro, Chuy Lizárraga , but undoubtedly the most emblematic and representative for its history is also known as "The Mother of all bands" Banda el Recodo.
