Hailing from Northern California, Banda Salvatierra is a popular brass, woodwind, and percussion band. Composed of 13 musicians and a singer, Banda Salvatierra plays a variety of rancheras, polkas, cumbias, and waltzes with the brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, and tuba) establishing a rousing rhythmic pulse—yet the band does not overpower the music or the listener. Originally issued in 1981, this was their first release on the Arhoolie Records label.
