EL FLACO
Luis Angel, aka “El Flaco,” is an incredibly talented Banda singer who was formerly the frontman for Banda Los Recoditos (2003-2018). El Flaco has amassed a sizeable catalog of live and studio albums, and dozens of singles and EPS since going solo. Possessed of a lilting baritone, El Flaco weaves romanticas, rancheras, and other styles into emotional and lyrical essences. His first solo offerings were the live albums Desde Casa and Pa’ Las Viejos, while Viva Mexico was recorded in concert with other artists. His 2021’s “La Textilera” was a collaboration with El Mimoso (Luis Antonio Lopez) and registered more than 60 million streams. Later that year, his solo set “La Ley de la Vida” landed inside the Top Ten at Mexican Regional streaming and stayed there for 14 weeks. In 2022, he and Luis Alfonso Partida “El Yako” issued the charting duo set La Gran Fiesta. Following several more live recordings and a covers album, El Flaco returned with Yo Te Extrañaré in 2024 on Sony Music.

EL MIMOSO
Luis Antonio López Flores, better known as “El Mimoso,” was once vocalist for Don Cruz Lizárraga’s widely-adored Banda El Recodo. The now 44-year-old sings his own songs and renditions of the classics of banda and any of the various interrelated Mexican musical styles. Lopez has incorporated elements of the regional styles Norteño, Ranchera, and Cumbia in his solo career. The crooner from Concordia, Sinaloa, recently toured the U.S. to support their current single “Tú Que La Tienes” and multiple album releases from recent years.
