Banda Sinaloense MS de Sergio Lizárraga is an award-winning Regional Mexican music group frorm Mazatlán, Sinaloa. Taking its initials from their hometown, the band was founded in 2003 by brothers Sergio and Alberto Lizárraga and made their debut in 2004 with the album No Podrás. One of its founding members, singer Julión Álvarez, served as the group’s main vocalist until 2007 when he embarked on a highly successful solo career. His spot was filled by Oswaldo Silva and Alan Ramírez. Throughout their prolific career, they have released a handful of classic banda albums such as Mi Mayor Anhelo (2005), Escuela de Rancho (2008), and Mi Razón de Ser (2012).
