ORKESTA Mendoza are visiting Leeds with their sunny-side-up mix of cumbia, mambo, indie and electronica.

The guys in the well-cut suits can be seen at the Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds on April 22.

They promise brash, widescreen style and witty reference to 60s instrumental pop that is effortlessly classy and enormous fun.

Orkesta Mendoza are led by Mexican American kingpin Sergio Mendoza, who is also a member and co-producer of Tucson music legends Calexico and arranger and founder member of Mexrrissey.

The band blend cumbia and mambo with psychedelic rock, polka, country and electronica, which is focused, fierce and beautifully executed by a superbly drilled set of musicians.

A spokesman said: “Dressed in their uniform of black suits and sunglasses, the band look like nothing so much as the Blues Brothers playing at a Day of the Dead party.”

“It’s a sound something else entirely – a sound that marries the regional styles blaring from speakers on one side of the border to those from the other; and a sensibility that thumbs its nose at los políticos. Border, what border?”
