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 ↴
Que solamente fui tu juego
Pues eras todo para mi
Que tonto fui, estuve tan ciego.
Me duele tanto tu traición
Pues eres lo que yo mas quiero
Hubo un intruso entre los dos
Parece mentira que me haz olvidado
Y yo que tanto te he amado
Y ahora estas con él
Parece mentira
Que en los brazos de tu amante
No recuerdas que juraste
Por siempre serme fiel
Parece mentira
Me duele tanto tu traición
Pues eres lo que yo mas quiero
Hubo un intruso entre los dos
Que nos decía que era amigo sincero
Parece mentira que me haz olvidado
Y yo que tanto te he amado
Y ahora estas con él
Parece mentira
Que en los brazos de tu amante
No recuerdas que juraste
Por siempre serme fiel
Parece mentira
Parece mentira
