Banda Machos

You see the photo of Banda Machos up by the top of this page? Yeah, those uniforms weren’t just for one ill-informed early photo shoot. Everything that the Villa Corona based Banda orchestra does as a band comes with all thirteen members dressed a lot like that, and you know what? They pull it off. Cos Banda Machos are as close as a Banda orchestra are ever going to get to being a heavy metal band. Trust me on this; it’s more than a little awesome. Their show can equal most other Banda concerts in technical ability, being as it is a celebration of traditional Mexican music done almost entirely on brass instruments. However the first sign that Banda Machos are a little less inhibited than most is the presence of a drum kit and a bass guitarist in their line-up. Most have little more than a snare drum for a rhythm section but it means that a Banda Machos show has a much higher emphasis on rhythm and dancing than most, which is always a good thing. The other thing that sets them apart is how much of a show it is, there’s so much life, so much joy in every moment. From the stage set up, to the lights, to the way that every member of the thirteen-piece orchestra is active onstage. It’s as much a spectacle as anything else, and it’s one not equalled by many artists playing at their level. So see it now, and remember it forever. Highly recommended.

The performance of Banda Machos was great! They were very energetic and had everyone dancing. What was a disappointment was the venvenue and the staff of the anahaim convention center they were very disorganized all of them. To the ones in the parking lot when we got in to the parking structure we told the parking lot employee what show we were there to see and he told us where to park and it turns out we parked very far way from the building that was having the show. They also did not have disabled parking. In the venue it was whole other bad experience they had the AC blasting very cold to where you could not enjoy the show. When we asked the employees questions about the seating aarangment they had no idea. I honestly would not like to attend another show at this location

Best time ever will do it again if I had the chance and also Ramon Ayala topping of the night well recommend my friends to go watch them life oh ya
