Yet another Mexican brass group!

Post by David Richoux »

I present La Banda Plastica from Tepetlixpa!

They specialize in Beatles covers - not quite as polished as Metales M5 - a bit more the Portsmouth Sinfonia of bandas ;-)

Further research reveals that they recorded just one LP in 1971, not much more is known about them. All of the tracks have been uploaded to Youtube and you can also listen on LastFM.

Uh, I can't quite put it into words. "Astonishing"? "Unbelievable"?

It has already been firmly established that anything that is posted on the internet is true. Now, we know that anything that can be heard of Youtube is of excellent quality. Period!
