How great is this? The two bands from Villa Corona in the state of Jalisco that are among the most successful exponents of the “technobanda” sound are coming to Modesto to share a stage at the Gallo Center for the Arts!
Banda Machos performs a combination of Banda, Quebradita, and Ranchera music, and is renowned for singing songs composed by Joan Sebastian, Jose Guadalupe Esparza, José Alfredo Jiménez, Ivan Diaz, Horacio Ortíz and Marco Antonio Solís. The band has been together for over 26 years and has recorded over 22 albums.
Banda Maguey, nicknamed “The Star of the Dances,” became a favorite during the 1990s Banda craze. Led by former vocalist Ernesto Solano, they took over the radio waves with their debut album Tumbando Caña in 1994, which contained a number of hits including “El Alacran.”
