How about some of that great (current/contemporary) music heard in Baja, Mexico!
My Wife and I heard this played at Club Las Pulgas in Tijuana last month.
New York's Projecto Uno!

There is no such thing in the world as a cool Banda tune. They don't make tunes...they make noise.bajamigo - 9-20-2011 at 09:08 AM

I'm wasting away to a mere shadow of my former self...as someone once said. I think it was Karen Carpenter right after she enjoyed a dinner of a Rice
Cake.wessongroup - 9-20-2011 at 09:43 AM
Well .... it's a different style... and sound for sure... think a Vibraphone might have worked better than the "electronic organ"... but that's just
me... think Lionel Hampton...
Thanks.. it all helps...Eugenio - 9-20-2011 at 11:43 AM

That's not Banda MS - it's a Cumbia - the photo has nothing to do with the audio.
Dennis - turn the audio off on the youtube Banda above - watch it - and then tell me you don't like Banda...DENNIS - 9-20-2011 at 12:38 PM

Yeah...OK. The Banda Babes are lovely...I must admit, but the music gives me a headache. Tubas belong in high school marching bands or the Polka
segments of the old Lawrence Welk shows.

Not yet...and if I have to be subjected to the least amount of that Banda racket, I never will be. I'll gladly choose suicide.BajaRat - 9-20-2011 at 04:51 PM

Just one of many as you say, Lionel. Thanks for the mention.
Give me Banda, or give me death....

I had a Genetics professor in school and he plays in a Rock Band at Hotel Coral every weekend in the lounge, very knowledgeable person, who told me in
fact that Banda was originated from the Polka tunes in some way or another. I dated a Mexican who loved it, but somehow I never acquired a taste for
it, in fact, I loathed it and still would rather listen to The Cure, Supertramp, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pit Bull, Enrique Iglesias, even Moonlight
Sonata by Beethoven, Marco Antonio Solis and I love Mana, but please, I agree with Dennis, turn the channel!!!!

As "EnsenadaDr" said, banda music is derived from polka.
My background is partly from the music industry. I was the owner of a 30000 sf niteclub which had 4 rooms of entertainment, sometimes going on at the
same time. Music ranged from hip hop; house; top 40; new wave; rock and roll; trance; alternative; mariachi and POLKA. I have hosted the Grateful
Dead and had the cops raid me during a Ramones concert. I passed on the Wu-Tang Clan though and turned down Suge Knight on some acts.
Now, when my woman and I want to go out for a night on the town, I dust off my RR; put on my pimp suit; strap on my bling (not over the top, though),
get a bottle; rent a sleazy motel room close to the venue and go -- not to the Playboy Jazz Festival -- but to the Slovene Hall for some good Polka
and Waltz dance music, coming home the next day bowlegged and bleary eyed. To each his own... .
The main difference between polka and banda musicians is that the Mexican button box players do not use the left hand keys for some reason.
Sounds like my kind of man...
EnsenadaDr - 9-24-2011 at 04:22 PM
Ha ha...sounds like you and your wife have a great time, and you know what, I like polka and waltz music, I don't know why I don't like Banda...

" great (current/contemporary) music"??????????????????????On which planet?There is enough real music in Mexico, thank God, so I wouldn't have to
listen to something like this. I mean - what exactly is great - or even acceptable music - about this sound clip? S O R R Y, couldn't help it. The
only thing worse is bad rap.
