This highly acclaimed band from Tuscon, Arizona is led by the musical polymath Sergio Mendoza, who is also a member and co-producer of Southwestern music legends: Calexico. Whereas some short-sighted politicos shout for a wall along the desert border between the US and Mexico, Sergio and his hot-wired band, smash that idea into pieces. Orkesta Mendoza fashion a borderless music that spans the Americas (North, Central, South) embracing mambo, cumbia and mariachi with same vigor as psychedelic pop, twang rock and analog electronics.
