About three thousand fans of the Sinaloan group, Banda MS, dance and sing their hearts out loud to Regional Mexicano hymns this past March at the Yaamava’ Theater. The event was a celebration of music and culture, transporting the audience back home with songs like “Cahuates, Pistaches” and “El mechón”, while the signature vocals of Alan Ramírez and Oswaldo Silvas echoed the romance and heartbreak with melodies like “Mi mayor anhelo” and “El color de tus ojos”.
For many the genre is not just music, it is a way of life, and that’s what Banda MS brought on stage, the Mazatlán Carnaval itself to the casino venue. Mid-concert, Walo and Alan performed their top requested songs by fans, which included “Me vas a extrañar” and “Es tuyo mi amor”. The vocalists also stayed after the concert to engage and take selfies with attendees.
