Mazatlan Bandstand

bandstand

Hear, here! The Mazatlan Bandstand was created to record live music in front of a live audience. The bands are recorded with the latest digital recording equipment to give you the most authentic experience – it’s almost like being there. Almost. Please listen with your headphones/earbuds, not on your phone or tablet/laptop speakers. The Bandstand will also give you the opportunity to select if you are in the mood for jazz, blues, ballads, reggae, rock ‘n roll or a good old fashioned cabaret show. The Bandstand library of music will grow during ‘the season’, as does our online THE FAIRLY ACCURATE DAILY MUSIC SCHEDULE.

The bands and musicians may come and go, but the bandstand can give you a sense of the kind of music Mazatlan offers. Even if a particular band may have split up or stopped playing.

The music beat of Mazatlan is impressive, perhaps the largest music community on Mexico’s pacific coast. All the music you’ll hear on the Bandstand is live music “almost free” Hear, here!

( A new section has been added below the live recordings – Provided Music Tracks – these have been recorded by the artist, and it will offer you a chance to hear the type of music they play. Please scroll down
