An original brand of latin-pop folklorico. Accordion melodies and an undeniable dance beat with spanish lyrics delivered like a bullet to your senses.
Pistolera is a NYC-based band that defines the latin alt-folklorico genre. Drawing from traditional styles of Mexican music and fusing it with a pop-rock sensibility, the electrifying quartet features the Spanish lyric songs of vocalist and guitarist Sandra Lilia Velásquez, the driving accordion melodies of Maria Elena, and the unbeatable rhythm section of bassist Inca B. Satz and drummer Ani Cordero. Since the release of their debut album "Siempre Hay Salida" on November 7, 2006 the band has been featured in Rolling Stone Mexico, Billboard Magazine, The New Yorker, Latina Magazine, El Diario, and on NPR's "Open Mic" on Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and have performed on John Schaeffer's top-rated "Soundcheck" on WNYC. "Siempre Hay Salida" went to #13 on the CMJ World Chart and #5 on CMJ Latin Alt Chart. The band has toured the USA, Europe, and Mexico. The album was recorded and produced by Grammy-winner Charlie Dos Santos in Brooklyn and has guest appearances by members of Si*Se, Grupo Fantasma, Antibalas, and Slavic Soul Party.
