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

Me caga que me quieran ver la cara
Yo se que mi paciencia es mi virtud
Y tu ya te pasaste de la raya
Te borras para siempre de mi vida
Ya me canse de que a tus amigas
Les cuentes que conmigo ni a la cama
Ni que estuvieras tan buena, para morirme por ti
Tu sabes que contigo nunca tuve la intención
De aprovechar lo fácil que eres para el resbalón
Podía pero no te me antojabas
Tu rabia es que te deje con ganas
Si te buscaba era tan solo para salir
Y junto a tus amigas dar la vuelta por ahí
Y mientras tu de mi más les hablabas
Con ellas yo logré saciar mis ganas
Equivocación mija, equivocación
Te borras para siempre de mi vida
Ya me canse de que a tus amigas
Les cuentes que conmigo ni a la cama
Cuando yo soy el que no te trae ganas
Si te buscaba era tan solo para salir
Y junto a tus magias dar la vuelta por ahí
Y mientras tu de mi más les hablabas
Con ellas yo logré saciar mis ganas
Ni que estuvieras tan bueno mijo, para morirme por ti
Equivocación mijo
