Banda is a form of popular music. Established in Sinaloa, northern Mexico, in the late 1960s, banda music exploded in popularity in the late 1990s throughout Mexico and in the southwest United States, primarily in Texas and California but also in Iowa, Kansas, and Illinois. Thanks to the rapidly rising popularity of La Banda Sinaloense, the genre has taken on a different role.

La Banda el Recodo and El Coyote y su Banda Tierra Blanca are the most famous banda artists.
