Orkestra Mendoza Feat. Salvador Duran
Born in Cuba, Mambo music has continued flourishing in Mexico and the US. It was Pérez Prado, a.k.a. “the King of Mambo”, who introduced this genre to the world. The Mexican musician Sergio Mendoza is one of the most important ambassadors of the “Big Band Mambo” tradition in the 21st century, saving this energetic and lively music of 1950s from certain extinction. A multi-instrumentalist, Sergio differentiates his music by incorporating various Latin music styles such as Cumbia, Merengue and Ranchere, presenting a much alluring and flamboyant experience for the listener. Salvador Duran enriches this colourful and crowded orchestra with his voice, dance and his maracas. Critics describe “Orkesta Mendoza” with this phrase “Mendoza is the Sex Pistols of Mambo”! Orkesta Mendoza will do their new album 'Vamos a Guarachar'’s live premier at the Festival.
