SBS Entertainment proves once again that they are the new alternative in providing Latin entertainment, while presenting the most important artist of the Regional Mexican music genre in this exclusive presentation.

“For SBS Entertainment it is an honor and privilege that Julion Alvarez & Banda Los Recoditos have chosen the most versatile and dynamic entertainment company, with an understanding of the new generations,” stated Lucas Pina, SR.VP of SBS Entertainment.

The international acclaimed Banda Los Recoditos a Mexican banda from Sinaloa, scored their first international smash hit in 2010 with “Ando Bien Pedo” after two decades of intermittent activity and limited success. Hailing from Mazatlán, Sinaloa, the group was founded in 1989 by friends and family members of La Banda el Recodo de Cruz Lizárraga. Vocalists Alfonso Lizárraga (also known as Poncho Lizárraga) and Pancho Barraza (born Francisco Javier Barraza Rodríguez) were two of the more than dozen bandmembers comprising the original incarnation of Banda los Recoditos.

After a period of dormancy, Banda los Recoditos regrouped with vocalists Carlos Perez, Luis Angel Franco, and Carlos Sarabia and refashioned itself with a looser, hipper style that appealed to the emerging regional Mexican youth market and was well suited to television. The group has been awarded numerous awards that make them today one of the most successful “banda” of our times.
