Banda

Banda is a type of Mexican music that originated in the 19th century. It is characterized by its use of brass instruments, such as trumpets, trombones, and tubas, as well as drums and other percussion instruments. It is often played at festivals and other celebrations, and is popular in both Mexico and the United States. Banda music is often associated with the mariachi style, but it is distinct in its own right. It is characterized by its fast tempo and its use of polka-style rhythms. The lyrics of Banda songs often focus on themes of love, heartbreak, and patriotism.
