12PM-2PM | FREE IN THE LOUNGE ORKESTA MENDOZA “Sergio Mendoza is one
of the great innovators of the Arizona music scene.”—Guardian Led
by multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Sergio Mendoza (Calexico),
Orkesta Mendoza fashion borderless sounds that span the Americas,
embracing mambo and cumbia with the same vigor as psychedelic pop,
twang rock, and analog electronics. Originally formed as a tribute to
“King of Mambo” Pérez Prado, Orkesta Mendoza plays music that
explores a myriad of directions, rhythms, and moods, delivering
big-band orchestrations mixed with lo-fi electronica, vocals en
Español, and moving instrumentals. Epic and soulful, they truly
capture the positive spirit of the Southwest.
