"...a foot stomping sound that's one part ranchera and one part indie-pop" (The New Yorker ). Blending ranchera, cumbia, banda and rock genres, PISTOLERA features lead vocalist/guitarist Sandra Lilia Velasquez, drummer Ani Cordero, and accordionist Maria Elena. Known for lyrics as hard-hitting as their beat – taking on issues such as the plight of immigrants, and border issues - The New York Post enthused, “Velasquez's intoxicating voice and her passion while playing the electric guitar matched with Cordero's driving drumming style make for quite a spectacular live performance.”
