Since its founding in 1938, it has been under the direction of the Lizárraga family. Banda el Recodo has performed with such popular artists as Juan Gabriel and Vicente Fernández.

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

Por Tí
Banda El Recodo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ale quiero decirte que te AMO con toda mi alma
Y diosito quiera que estés conmigo hasta
El fin de mis días

Cuando cierras los ojos
Y estas en mis brazos se despierta en mi cuerpo
El deseo de amarte
Y te miro y te miro

Y yo mas me enamoro
Y te hago tan mia que daría mi alma
Por que no avance el tiempo
Y encontré en ti la estrella
La que alumbra en mi noche
Refugiando el secreto
Que entre sueños se esconde
Y te vez tan hermosa
Una belleza encantada
Y envuelto en tu cuerpo
Ya no existe mas nada

Por ti
He descubierto mil formas de amar
Por ti
Voy aprender a reír y a soñar
Por ti
No hay un desierto ni un mar
Que no pueda cruzar
Y es por ti que daría mi vida
Para que no te me vayas jamas

Por ti
He descubierto mil formas de amar
Por ti
Ya no hay vació ya no hay soledad
Por ti
Nunca la luna en mi cielo se puede ocultar
Y es por ti que cambio mi destino
Y es por ti que no soy uno mas

Y perdón yo te pido
Si es que no me doy cuenta
Por culpar siempre al tiempo
Y olvidar que me esperas
Solo soy ese hombre
Que te quiere de veras
Y que anhela alumbrar con palabras
El camino que guie tus huellas

Por ti

He descubierto mil formas de amar
Por ti

Overall Meaning

The song "Por Ti" by Banda El Recodo is a beautiful ode to love and devotion. The lyricist, Ale, is expressing his deep love for someone and hoping to be with them until the end of his days. When he is holding his loved one and looking into their eyes, he feels a strong desire to love them even more. He sees them as a beautiful and enchanting star that illuminates his life and gives him hope. In the chorus, he sings that because of this person, he has discovered countless ways to love and has a newfound joy in life. He would do anything to make sure they never leave him.

The bridge of the song is particularly moving as Ale asks for forgiveness for not always realizing how important his loved one is to him. He promises to be the man who loves and cherishes them deeply and wants to be the person who can guide and support them in life.
