Malacopa by Dani Bander
Dani Bander (formerly of La Banderville) questions what
would happen if a mariachi distanced themselves from their
traditional sound. What would happen if the trumpet and guitar
players, dressed up in their cowboy garb, spewed punk sounds— if
the violinists created psychedelic atmospheres by emitting
distorted sounds from their instruments, introducing what may be
a complete reinvention of the Mexican identity.
at, in a nutshell, is Malacopa— Bander’s debut solo album.
Produced by AJ Dávila (Davila 666), the album contains 10
songs that beg the questions: what does a mariachi that doesn’t ply
mariachi sound like? For that reason, he’s described his sound as
‘Post-Mariachi’, and Malacopa is the rst attempt at describing
the new sound.
In support of the new album, Dani Bander will soon begin a
Mexico tour, making an important stop at Festival Marvin in
Mexico City this May 20 (where he’ll share the stage with the likes
of Television and e Black Lips).
Malacopa will be available on all digital platforms May 10.
Is another kind of mariachi possible? It seems so. VIVA MÉXICO!
