El Coyote (José Ángel Ledezma Quintero) and Chuy Lizárraga are two of the most recognizable voices in banda sinaloense, known for powerhouse vocals, big-brass arrangements, and crowd-singing anthems that keep the dance floor moving. El Coyote rose through top Sinaloa bands before launching "El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa" in the late ’90s, building a loyal following with hits like “Piquites de Hormiga” and “Árboles de la Barranca.” Chuy Lizárraga—leader of Chuy Lizárraga y Su Banda Tierra Sinaloense—brings his signature ranchera-and-banda blend and fan favorites like “La Peinada (La Peinadita)” and “Partido en Dos,” with a touring catalog that spans romantic heartbreak to full-tilt party starters. Together, their Capibaras Tour is a double-headliner celebration of classic banda energy—high-spirited, horn-driven, and built for nonstop sing-alongs from the first note to the last.
