Yolanda Pérez

Yolanda Perez is one of the feminine vocalists who specializes in banda, a method of Mexican music that historically continues to be dominated by man performers. Banda music, which is well known for its exclusive mix of horns and its own chugging tubas, provides flourished in Mexico aswell as the southwestern area of the USA; Perez is among banda’s Mexican-American performers and provides resided in the U.S. her life time. Born in LA on, may 20, 1983, and elevated in that intensely Latino town, Perez had an extremely bilingual upbringing. The vocalist was raised speaking British and Spanish fluently and it is capable of performing in both dialects. Perez generally performs in Spanish — which is normally banda’s official vocabulary — although she’ll sometimes sing in British and offer a banda interpretation of the spirit or doo wop traditional. And just like the past due Tejano celebrity Selena and fellow banda/corrido vocalist Jenni Rivera — who’s referred to as La Diva de la Banda (the Diva of Banda) and la Primera Dama del Corrido (the Initial Woman of Corrido) in the local Mexican marketplace — Perez brings a distinctively Chicana perspective towards the desk. Perez’s pop-influenced method of banda/corrido was, to a big degree, formed by existence in L.A.’s sizable Mexican-American community. That was where Perez started performing traditional Mexican music as a kid and received significant amounts of encouragement from her dad, Refugio Perez, a musician who got used the Mexican music group Pancho Villa and gave his girl the nickname la Potranquita. Throughout her teenage years, Yolanda Perez sang thoroughly — with age 19, she got a cope with Fonovisa Information (among the best brands in the local Mexican marketplace). Perez was 20 when Fonovisa released her debut recording, Dejenme Llorar (whose name means “I WANT TO Cry”), in 2003.
