Duranguense outfit
Los Creadorez del Pasito Duranguense are a Chicago-based group fronted by Alfredo Ramirez, one of the pioneers of the American duranguense movement. Along with co-founder Ismael Mijarez, Ramirez formed
Los Creadorez and gave the rootsy Mexican regional music a fresh, contemporary twist.
Los Favoritas los Creadores, Rancheras y Mas is an excellent example of the
Creadorez's particular magic. Containing, as the title suggests, corridos (narrative ballads) and rancheras (traditional folk songs),
Los Favoritas is a straight blast of banda music, energized by the well-established know-how of Ramirez and company.
