The ensemble consists of four clarinets, three trumpets, a tambora, a tarola, a tuba (Sousaphone style), three trombones, and three singers.
Banda el Recodo was founded by Don Cruz Lizárraga from Sinaloa, Mexico. Although he had to drop out of high school to work, Lizárraga was an excellent bandleader and musician. Self-taught on the clarinet, he was forced to sell one of his hogs to pay for his new musical instrument. Once he moved to Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Lizarraga signed a deal with RCA Victor and soon formed Banda el Recodo. Since his death in 1995, Lizarraga's son has taken over the group and undertaken extensive international tours. Today, Banda el Recodo continues to be one of the most famous and most popular Mexican folk music bands of all time

Banda El Recodo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mis penas y se lleva el rio
Un manantial de ganas que
Calientan mi alma si tengo frio
Eres como la lluvia que de gota
En gota limpia mis pecados
Renace la esperanza de estar
Eres como una bola de cristal
Que me permite entrar en el futuro
Me ayudas a escoger el bien
Del mal dándome solo amor puro
Y me has hecho sentir lo que
Nunca he sentido
Y me has hecho vivir lo que
No he vivido
Por ti vuelvo a nacer como en primavera
Dispuesto a regalarte mi vida entera
De nuevo suenan los latidos
En mi pecho
Despierta un corazón dormido
Entre el desecho
He vuelto a ver estrellas por
La madrugada
Y si no estas conmigo no
Quiero nada
No quiero nada
Eres como agua dulce que
Recorre poco a poco por mis venas
Limpiando lentamente un
Amor currado toditas mis penas
Tu eres el alimento eres mi
Nuevo invento mi carta de suerte
Eres tu mi amuleto, crucifijo que me
Cuida para siempre
Eres como una bola de cristal
Que me permite entrar en el futuro
Me ayudas a escoger el bien
Del mal dándome solo amor puro
Y me has hecho sentir lo que
Nunca he sentido
Y me has hecho vivir lo que
No he vivido
Por ti vuelvo a nacer como en primavera
Dispuesto a regalarte mi vida entera
De nuevo suenan los latidos
En mi pecho
Despierta un corazón dormido
Entre el desecho
He vuelto a ver estrellas por
La madrugada
Y si no estas conmigo no
Quiero nada
No quiero nada
In Banda El Recodo's song Agua Dulce, the lyrics describe a love that is refreshing and healing, just like sweet water that washes away one's sorrows and carries them away. The words paint a picture of a love that is like a spring of desire that warms the soul when it is cold. The chorus expresses how the lover has made the singer feel things that they have never felt before and live a life they have never experienced.
The second verse compares this love to raindrops that wash away sins and bring the hope of falling in love once again. The third stanza likens the love to a crystal ball that shows the future, and the lover helps to choose the good over the bad by providing pure love. The singer feels reborn in spring ready to give their life to the lover. The bridge declares that the singer's heart has woken up, and they are no longer interested in anything if the lover is away.
The song's love lyrics are enhanced by the use of metaphors and similes, which provide a deeper understanding of the singer's emotions. The visuals of sweet water, spring of desire, raindrops, crystal ball, and heartbeats add depth to the song and create an emotional connection with the listener. The overall message of the song is about the healing power of love that can awaken the heart and bring hope and happiness into one's life.
