About La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga

Formed in 1965, La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga remains one of the most influential Mexican banda groups of all time. ∙ Although La Original Banda El Limón was originally led by other musicians, clarinetist Salvador Lizárraga took over as bandleader in 1976. ∙ Countless musicians have passed through the group over the decades, including such noted singers as Julio Preciado, Jorge Cordero, Nico Flores, and Chuy Lizárraga. ∙ It wasn’t until 1990 that La Original Banda El Limón released their first album, Puro Mazatlan, but the group has since issued several dozen more. ∙ In 2009, the ensemble’s Derecho de Antigüedad earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Banda Album. ∙ Celebrated Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes guested on “Y No Regresas,” the closing track on their 2011 album, El Primer Lugar. ∙ The group has won three Latin Grammy Awards, including two for Best Banda Album and a 2012 nod for “El Mejor Perfume,” which was named Best Regional Mexican Song.
