History
Banda El Limón was formed in 1965 in El Limón de los Peraza, Sinaloa, by Pedro Aramburo, Encarnación Peraza, Lino Quintero, Carlos Peraza and Pedro Peraza. The banda began performing in the port of Mazatlán, and in 1976, Salvador Lizárraga assumed the direction of the banda.
In 1997, internal conflicts arose in the banda, as René Camacho assumed the temporary direction while Salvador Lizárraga was recovering from a stroke. The disputes between Camacho and Lizárraga led to the division of the banda in two: René Camacho recruited many members of the Banda and founded La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, while the members who remained with Lizárraga continued performing as La Original Banda El Limón.[1] Since both bandas are very popular, often with the same crowd, René Camacho's banda is referred to simply as "La Arrolladora" to avoid confusion.
