ORKESTA MENDOZA - Curandero (Sealed) (CD)

Border music without borders. Sergio Mendoza (a longtimemember of Calexico) grew up onboth sides of the US/Mexican frontier.On the band's 3rd album, "Curandero," his musical melding of that experience explodes from the speakers. Boogaloo, cumbia, ranchera & rock'n'roll. "Mixing 60s rock styles with traditional Latin stompers, the US-Mexican band are both experimental and rousing." - The Guardian Sometimes, things fall together as if they're simply fated to exist. Orkesta Mendoza found that; as soon as the songs began to flow for Curandero, their second album for the Glitterbeat label, the stars seemed to align and everything was composed, recorded and mastered in just a few short months.
