Banda el Recodo -- the group's full name is Banda Sinaloense el Recodo de Don Cruz Lizarraga -- celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2013, and the Mexican Banda group hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. During the landmark year, the ever-evolving band -- believed to be the first Banda act to release a commercial recording -- was awarded with the Musical Legacy Award at the Billboard Mexican Music Awards.
Banda el Recodo was founded by clarinetist Cruz Lizarraga in 1938, and he remained the bandleader until he died of cancer in 1995. The group is still in the Lizarraga family, however, and counts four of his sons among its members. Banda el Recodo still tours regularly -- often playing in the United States -- with a huge lineup of musicians playing clarinets, trombones, trumpets, tuba, and various percussion instruments, along with vocalists. Fans who buy tickets to a Banda el Recodo concert can expect a wide range of styles representing the massive swaths of musical ground -- including Latin, big band, jazz and classical -- they've covered over their hundreds of recordings.
THE DIVERSITY OF MUSIC THEY PRESENT ON THIS EVENT WAS GREAT, THE EVENT IS REALLY WORTH WHAT YOU PAY
The tickets said that they started at 12!! so we got there@10 just to make sure "we got good seats" ... turns out doors didnt open till 12 !!! and it was an aall day jaripeo!!! i bought tickets to see banda recodo not a whole day event. NO were did it say that it was a WHOLE DAY EVENT!!!!!!!! ALL it said was recoditos and banda recodo. they didnt appear until 8pm!
Great event, i had a blast... Hope to have an event like this again, definitely going!
This was the first time I saw Banda EL Recodo live and bottom line they were great. Doors opened at 12 noon and several bands performed during the event. It wasn't till 7pm that Los Recoditos opened for EL Recodo and you really noticed the diffrence from the opening acts to these two great bands. Both bands performed all the great songs that everyone loves and both bands engaged with the crowd. El Recodo would encouraged the audience to send up notes with song request through security or by any means possible. They would pose for pictures with fans near them and tried their best to reach out to all fans in the front row. EL Recodo sang such song like "te presumo" and " que te ruege, queien te ruege" wich made the audience sing allong to every word. I would deffinetly recommend any one who loves their music to attend any concert by EL Recodo, you'll have a great sing allong session with the band. People were dancing in the dirt, women were climing on stage and the band would gladly pose for pictures while still trying to performe for the rest of the crown.
Wonderful event, wish didn't waste time on Rodeo!!
There was a couple of Bands there. They played many favorite hits. The bull riding and horse dancing was nice to watch. The stands are covered and shade is always nice! I love the fact that they remove the fencing and let the public down the ring to dance and see the bands up close! A better flooring would be nice though. We went home covered in dust! The most awaited band of the night (Banda El Recodo) did take a while to come out. But over all it was a blast. I will be returning on the 4th of September for Joan Sebastian!!!!!
I went to this event only expecting to see el recodo, But it turned out to be so much more. Very good line up, for a total of 8 hours of live music. Lots of fun, would definitely do it again.
Both Los Recoditos and la Banda El Recodo were amazing.
Banda El Recodo is Awesome!! Bring them back. I only wish the concert was longer.
I attended the show at the Nokia Theatre, venue is great, I loved the setting & stage lights, big screens. However the show was a bit less than what I expected. It was my first time seeing El Recodo live, though I have been a fan of their music all my life. They didn't sing all the songs I wanted to hear, seemed like the show was a bit too short considering all the other songs they could've added. I do however love how they interact with the fans and are always ready for pictures, very down to earth. All in all it was fun but I wasn't blown away.
The opening act was great! A lot of energy and the music was outstanding. Banda El Recodo's music was good.....enjoyed dancing with my wife in the aisles. I wished they played longer as their set was much too short for the price we paid for the tickets.
I was waiting for the band to sign 1 of my favorites songs which is Costumbres and they did not perform this song :-( was a little disapointed.
Had a great night! Sound system was great, artist was amazing!
The whole concert was perfect! From beginning to end. I was up the whole night dancing to the music nonstop!!! I LOVED IT ALL THE WAY!!!!!
Enjoyed the whole concert. Both Bandas are very entertaining.
It was a really cool concert, and I especially liked the fact that the concert was longer than last year.
This concert was amazing. During the whole time everyone was happy dancing . Banda El Recodo's music makes you dance. The whole time everyone was standing up singing along. They played all of their hits. I enjoyed myself it was amazing!
They were great! You can feel the energy of a great culture!! Can't wait to see them again :)
Overall I would give the concert a 8 on a scale of 10. The concert began a little late and the opening group "Recoditos" , I think only sang about 40 minutes and most were a medly of songs. Recoditos should have been given more time as they are a great band. Recodo's performance was great. However, I do not believe they played 2 hours. For the price the concert should have lasted at least 3 hours but it didn't as it started at about 8:15pm and ended at about 10:40 pm. The ushers were very helpful and polite. Concession items are very overpriced. "Large popcorn" size of a medium drink $4:50?
It was great, all my friends had fun. It was like a night club dancing,drinking and a live band. It was a must see event. Can't wait till the next one.way
