La Banda MS lleva su sonido a pblicos internacionales

05/10/2019

Los diecinueve miembros de Banda Sinaloense MS de Sergio Liz rraga, mejor conocidos como Banda MS, comenzaron su carrera como muchos m sicos, so ando con ganarse la vida haciendo lo que aman. Decir que han alcanzado ese objetivo ser a quedarse cortos: desde que su primer lbum fue lanzado en 2003, Banda MS ha despegado no solo en M xico, sino en todo el mundo. Han sido reconocidos con una nominaci n al Grammy, un concierto reciente en el famoso Madison Square Garden y son la banda mexicana con mayor n mero de streams en Spotify. Con un nuevo lbum pr ximamente, est n listos para llevar su sonido a nuevas alturas.

Hablamos con el l der y vocalista Walo Silvas para conocer c mo Banda MS internacionaliz la banda, el estilo de m sica regional mexicano caracterizado por sus instrumentos de viento y percusi n.

C mo se siente ser la banda mexicana con mayor n mero de streams en Spotify? Es un sentimiento que es dif cil de explicar. Con cada show agotado, nos damos cuenta de lo lejos que hemos llegado. Al final del d a, es una sensaci n incre ble saber que hay tanta gente disfrutando de nuestra m sica.

Qu desaf os han superado como grupo para llegar a donde est n ahora? Cu l es la lecci n m s importante que aprendieron juntos en el camino? El desaf o m s importante, y el m s dif cil, fue lograr que todos en la banda nos concentr ramos en el mismo objetivo y llegar a un lugar en el que confiamos los unos en los otros. La lecci n m s importante fue aprender de nuestras deficiencias, enamorarnos del arduo trabajo y del proceso, y dejar que los resultados lleguen. Otra lecci n muy importante fue aprender a confiar en nuestros instintos.

Regresemos a la poca en que Banda MS se form en 2003, antes de que pudieran imaginarse encabezando las listas y ser nominados para un Grammy o ganando varios otros premios. Solo ramos plebes con el sue o de tener trabajos remunerados como m sicos. Quer amos llegar a fin de mes y poder tener un gran patio donde pudi ramos tocar m sica y decir lo que pens bamos. Y eso hicimos. Banda MS nos dio la oportunidad de crear la m sica que amamos. Mirando hacia atr s, cumplimos todos estos sue os pero nunca imaginamos llegar a donde estamos hoy.

C mo ha afectado a su carrera el boom del streaming y la exposici n a una audiencia global? Nos ha afectado en el buen sentido. De la mejor manera, realmente. Siempre hemos estado abiertos al cambio y nos hemos adaptado incluso cuando ha sido dif cil. El streaming nos permiti comprender mejor a nuestra audiencia. Nos hizo darnos cuenta de que las personas en lugares alejados de M xico o Estados Unidos tambi n disfrutaban de nuestra m sica. Hemos visitado pa ses en Centroam rica y recientemente Canad , y extra amente se siente como tocar en nuestro pa s de origen.

C mo ha evolucionado el g nero de banda al mezclarse con mariachi, ranchera y norte o desde que hicieron el primer lbum de Banda MS No Podr s en 2004? No s si lo llamar a una evoluci n, pero ciertamente ha cambiado en ritmo, letra y melod a, en el buen sentido. Hoy puedes escuchar un tipo de regional mexicano m s adaptado al mundo. En nuestro caso, nuestra m sica (banda) ha evolucionado en arreglos musicales, pero sin mezclarse con otros g neros. La banda sigue siendo nica y de ra ces, pero se ha beneficiado del oficio de compositores consumados.

Recientemente, actuaron por primera vez en el Madison Square Garden. Qu significa este pico logro para ustedes como m sicos al poder compartir su trabajo en un lugar hist rico y mundialmente conocido en Nueva York? Signific todo para nosotros. Es un punto que todo artista sue a con llegar. Estar en el Madison Square Garden con una casa llena y escuchar a la gente cantar nuestras canciones y bailar con nuestra m sica es un sentimiento que no puedo describir.

Como banda, c mo honra Banda MS su herencia mexicana? Lo hacemos como todos los mexicanos, llenos de orgullo en nuestros corazones, con amor por nuestro pa s y orgullo por nuestras canciones nacionales. El mayor homenaje que podemos dar a M xico es cantar las canciones m s aut nticas en el escenario. Amamos todo sobre nuestro pa s, somos 100% mexicanos y orgullosos. Si tuvi ramos que enumerar algunas de las cosas ser an: la m sica, las tradiciones, la comida, la gente y los paisajes.

Qu sigue para Banda MS? Puedes compartir lo que hay en el horizonte creativo para ustedes? Lo que sigue es convertirnos en leyendas de este g nero, como Vicente Fern ndez, Joan Sebasti n o Juan Gabriel. Pero, sobre todo, queremos que la gente disfrute de nuestra m sica. Todo el trabajo duro detr s de nuestros lbumes y shows en vivo proviene de un profundo respeto hacia nuestra audiencia y de un amor por la m sica. Al igual que cuando ramos j venes en Mazatl n, con el sue o de triunfar en la industria.
