A White Guy Listens to Mexican Music Part 4: Banda

Hey everyone this is the fourth installment of my series on Mexican music. This episode takes a deep dive into the style called "Banda." Hailing from Sinaloa Mexico this style incorporates elements of marching band music into Mexican culture. The band is led by a lead singer and became incredibly popular in the 1990s. It continues to be an important part of both Mexican music as well as Chicano culture. I hope you enjoy this look into this fascinating style of music.
