Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkesta September 26, 2009

Indie-Mambo is a great characterization for the twelve plus members band Y La Orkesta. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, Y La Orkesta's members are primarily from two local bands -- The Jons and Seven to Blue. Y La Orkesta slam dunk the resurrection of Perez Prado's sound, Sergio's greatest influence that fearlessly created Mambo by combining traditional Cuban rhythms with the swing of American jazz, and Big Band harmonic sophistications.
