ESTA NOCHE: With over 25 gold albums to their name, Mi Banda El Mexicano is a bona fide sensation.

A giant party for Quebradita lovers—a Mexican style of dance and music—is coming Friday to San Jose’s Civic Center. This music is high energy, fast and full of melodies that spin tales of partying, love, life and travesuras. Friday’s featured artists include Mazatlán Sinaloa’s Mi Banda El Mexicano, Jalisco’s Banda Machos and Banda Maguey, and Banda Arkangel R-15 from Las Varas Nayarit. This kind of music sells out arenas, with live trombones, trumpets, tubas, electronic synths and booming percussion to keep the show rolling, and get people spinning and jumping along to the beat of the drums.
