SERGIO MENDOZA y la ORKESTA TO OPEN FOR OZOMATLI
Tucson's Sergio Mendoza y la Orkesta, who has been wowing local audiences since last fall's Great Cover Up with their impeccable blend of varying styles of Latin music, including the Big Band mambo sound of the 1940s, are confirmed as the opening act for Ozomatli this Friday, April 10th.
Here's the Phoenix New Times on Sergio y la Orkesta opening for Calexico last weekend at Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix:
""Stylish" is too weak a word to describe their act, which is possibly the most marketable show I've seen from an Arizona band. Starting just after 8, they played through a nice selection of mambos and updated Mariachi music without falling in to any cliched "Besame Mucho" moments."
Check out this video from their Decembe 29th performance opening for Calexico:
