Orkesta Mendoza is the brainchild of Tucson-based producer, composer, and multiinstrumentalist Sergio Mendoza - a Latin music pioneer whose sound is rooted in the place that made him. Raised on the international border in Ambos Nogales, Sergio grew up absorbing the eclectic mix of music spilling from Bordertown radio stations, and that sense of place has never left his work. The result is a bold blend of Indie Rock and Latin music that has become a cornerstone of Tucson culture - and a sound that continues to evolve through Mendoza's gift for global collaboration. From arranging Esto Sí Es Cumbia for Los Ángeles Azules to co-producing albums with Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino, Orkesta Mendoza brings together musicians from across regions and genres to create something entirely its own.
