La Banda el Recodo is not only one of Mexico’s most successful “banda”, but one of the most eclectic. Over the past four decades, the group has performed a mixture of Latin dance tunes, jazz swing, and classical music. The first “banda” to be recorded, La Banda el Recodo has recorded more than 178 records. They have brought its music from the barrios of Mexico to the international stage. Formed in 1951, La Banda el Recodo was conceived by self-taught clarinet player Don Cruz Lizárraga (born July 1, 1918; died June 17, 1995).

A Mexican banda from Sinaloa, Banda los Recoditos scored their first international smash hit in 2010 with “Ando Bien Pedo.” They did it after two decades of intermittent activity and limited success. Hailing from Mazatlán, Sinaloa, the group was founded in 1989. Mostly by friends and family members of La Banda el Recodo de Cruz Lizárraga. Vocalists Alfonso Lizárraga and Pancho Barraza were two of the more than dozen band members comprising the original incarnation of Banda los Recoditos.
