As total eclipse nears Mazatlán, banda groups stand their ground amid noise complaints

The beach city of Mazatlán, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, has long been associated with music — and it is successfully pushing back against noise complaints looking to silence it. Renowned as “the birthplace of banda,” local bands in Mazatlán graze the beaches with boisterous sounds of tubas, trombones and snare drums. This music is called banda, a subgenre of regional Mexican music whose ensemble features brass and percussion instruments.

“They do not own Mazatlán … The beach is free to all,” he said. The proposed regulations also include designating areas for the bands to play, instead of having them wandering the sand. In an interview with local content creators, one band member shared the importance of being able to play music freely on the beaches. “We depend on the beach. Many families, not just me,” the musician said on TikTok. Plans to initiate such policies seem to have been dropped by authorities.
