Song:Vas A Llorar Por Mi
Album:Las Bandas Romanticas
Banda Los Recoditos is the same as Banda el Recodo. Both are abbreviations of Banda Sinaloense El Recodo de Cruz Lizarraga. They are from Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico and have been around since 1938 in one form or another by the Lizarraga family. Like many Mexican regional bands, they have been successful in Mexico and sometimes they perform internationally. The music is OK for those who grew up with it. I just find that many of these bands sound the same. Cruz Lizarraga founded Banda El Recodo. El Recodo is his hometown. They were strictly instrumental until they added a singer in 1989. After Cruz Lizarraga died in 1995, clarinetist Luis Alfonso Lizarraga Lizarraga took over as musical director and they signed with Fonovisa. They have been very successful since then. They have won nine Latin Grammys and in 2003 they were the first Mexican band to perform on the Grammy broadcast. Vas A Llorara Por Mi is from the 2013 album Haciendo Historia. The title is this is their 200th album. Alphonso and Joel Lizarraga produced the album at their own recording studio. This budget comp is a good intro to their music. They continue to be successful mostly in Mexico. They last released an album in 2021. Here's the video for A Llorara Por Mi by Banda Los Recoditos.
Frank, thank-you so much for the information about this band. I hear music a lot like this at work all the time. The majority of my co-workers are either from Mexico or Central America. So I like hearing the stories behind the music I am hearing while at work.
