Los K-Bros, seen here during a performance in Joliet, will be performing Sunday in Festival Park as part of the Elgin Michelada Festival. Michelada, a drink that some call a Mexican Bloody Mary, may be hightlighted in the name of the Elgin Michelada Festival, but it won’t be the centerpiece. That goes to the 12 bands performing on stage Sunday at Festival Park.
Banda is a regional style of music that originated in the Mexican state of Sinaloa and features large wind and brass bands. It’s exploded in popularity around the world over the last 15 years, according to Billboard.com. Norteño, from the Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas states in northern Mexico, is more traditional music that features the accordion. New forms incorporating saxophone and tuba have become popular over the past five years, Rodriguez said.Among of the bands scheduled to play are Banda Estrategia, Los K-Bros, Groupo Sekta, Vanguardia, Banda Empresa, Banda Potrillos, Vision Directa and Mapano.
Rodriguez said Elegante Entertainment holds concerts or dances every weekend around the suburbs so putting together a show featuring a dozen bands in one setting is not as hard as it might sound. Typically the dances they often present at Mi Vallarta in South Elgin will attract as many as 500 people, he said.
