Banda El Recodo, founded in 1938 by Don Cruz Lizárraga in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, is one of the most influential and enduring groups in regional Mexican music. Known as “La Madre de Todas las Bandas,” they pioneered the modern banda sound, blending traditional Sinaloan brass music with contemporary influences.
Over the decades, Banda El Recodo has released numerous chart-topping albums and hits, including “Que Te Ruegue Quien Te Quiera,” “Te Presumo,” and “Y Llegaste Tú.” They were the first banda group to tour internationally and perform at prestigious venues worldwide.
Banda Los Recoditos, founded in 1989 in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, was originally formed as a younger counterpart to Banda El Recodo. Over the years, they established their own identity, becoming one of the most successful groups in regional Mexican music.
Their breakthrough came in 2010 with the album ¡Ando Bien Pedo!, featuring the title track, which became a massive hit, topping the Billboard Latin Songs chart. The album’s success earned them a Latin Grammy for Best Banda Album, cementing their place in the genre.
Known for their energetic performances and youthful sound, Banda Los Recoditos has maintained a loyal fanbase across Mexico and the U.S. With a mix of romantic ballads and party anthems, they remain one of the leading banda groups, evolving with new generations while honoring the traditional Sinaloan style.

Banda El Recodo Biography
Banda Sinaloense el Recodo de Don Cruz Lizárraga, often referred to as Banda el Recodo is one of the best-known Mexican banda groups. Since its founding in 1938, it has been under the direction of the Lizárraga family. Banda el Recodo has performed with such popular artists as Juan Gabriel and Vicente Fernández.
The ensemble consists of four clarinets, three trumpets, a tambora, a tarola, a tuba (Sousaphone style), three trombones, and three singers.
Banda el Recodo was founded by Don Cruz Lizárraga from Sinaloa, Mexico. Although he had to drop out of high school to work, Lizárraga was an excellent bandleader and musician. Self-taught on the clarinet, he was forced to sell one of his hogs to pay for his new musical instrument. Once he moved to Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Lizarraga signed a deal with RCA Victor and soon formed Banda el Recodo. Since his death in 1995, Lizarraga's son has taken over the group and undertaken extensive international tours. Today, Banda el Recodo continues to be one of the most famous and most popular Mexican folk music bands of all time
