La Explosiva Banda de Maza is a large banda orchestra whose founding members ranged in age from 17-25. The group's sound is deeply rooted in the Sinaloan banda tradition.
The large ensemble was founded in Sinaloa by cousins Guillermo, José, and Jorge Lizárraga, all life-long professional musicians. Before forming a band that reflected their original take on Mexican Regional music, Jorge had been a trombonist with artists including <a href="spotify:artist:01rgao9OzfBm2BOHWJpi1Y">Espinoza Paz</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5c4wQaXkNDqSOTjqX4ExAu">Jenni Rivera</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4bPiOPI4V99cepEftvBYak">Banda Los Recoditos</a>, and German Lizárraga. Jose Lizárraga had spent 17 years playing with many artists but spent the majority of his professional life with <a href="spotify:artist:6AcOTCYBMvjKYy4zms0kaC">Banda el Recodo</a>. Guillermo Lizárraga began his career with <a href="spotify:artist:341CfLcUdaBGixB8IJjYwW">Lupillo Rivera</a>, and later joined Carnival Band before he formed his own <a href="spotify:artist:2YJ9Y1IAQwEAHag5FABbLq">Banda La Sinaloense</a>, with whom he had the opportunity to play with <a href="spotify:artist:5bSfBBCxY8QAk4Pifveisz">La Arrolladora y Banda Ms.</a> Later, La Sinaloense worked directly as <a href="spotify:artist:4J13m9IZh03PEhoxAxRhXO">Gerardo Ortiz</a>'s backing band.
In early 2016, the cousins began to recruit and audition other likeminded musicians, regardless of age. By September, they were a full unit and rehearsing in earnest. They began playing out and issuing live YouTube videos. Their sophisticated arrangements, original songs, and committed presentation -- along with their stylish look -- attracted <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Warner+Bros%22">Warner Bros</a>. As a pre-release for their forthcoming debut album -- recorded live in the studio -- La Explosiva Banda de Maza issued a professionally shot, narrative video for the romantic Sinaloan ballad "Para Ser Sincere," which was issued in August of 2017 and rang up a million views in two weeks. It was directed by industry veteran Manuel Escalante. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
