Los Montaño is a vibrant musical ensemble based in San Diego, California, celebrated for their dynamic performances that encapsulate the rich tapestry of Northern Mexican folklore. Established in 2012 in Escondido, the band comprises five talented musicians, each contributing to a diverse sound that resonates with audiences across the region.
The group’s repertoire spans traditional Mexican genres, including cumbia, which infuses their performances with infectious dance beats, norteño polka, characterized by lively accordion melodies and a distinctive two-step rhythm, and corridos, narrative ballads that tell stories of romance, heartbreak, folklore, and occasionally, a touch of debauchery.
The band’s lineup features Olmedo Montaño on guitar and lead vocals, whose expressive performances captivate audiences; Marlene Montaño on bass, providing the foundational grooves that drive their music; and Luis Montaño on accordion and secondary vocals, adding melodic depth and traditional flair.
