EL COYOTE TO PERFORM AT THE STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR

            Turlock – Banda music fans get ready – because El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa will perform at the Stanislaus County Fair.

            El Coyote, known for hits like “Fuera de la Ley,” “Perdona mis errors” and “Suspiros” will perform on Sunday, Aug. 7, at 8:30 p.m. on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage at the Stanislaus County Fair.  The concert will be hosted by Radio Lobo 98.7. All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

            “We are excited to have this talented artist and band at our fair,” said Tony Leo, chief executive officer for the Stanislaus County Fair.  “This vibrant and dynamic performer is sure to be a big draw for those seeking Banda entertainment.”

Members of El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa are originally from Sinaloa, including places like Guasave, Mocoritos, Guamuchil and Culiacan.  Jose Angel Ledezma Quintero, El Coyote, developed his stage name from his childhood home of Coyotitan. 

The ability to combine the new with the old has been a key ingredient in the formula for success for El Coyote. El Coyote was a vocalist for Banda La Costena and Recoditos before he decided to go solo in 1997.  In 2001, El Coyote had a record crowd in Santa Maria Tequesquepan Gudalajara where more than 50,000 people attended the event.  El Coyote is the winner of multiple platinum and gold records plus 1st place on the Billboard charts, giving him the opportunity to perform for the first time at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles that same year.  Upon signing with Univision Records and releasing his new CD entitled “Suspiros,” El Coyote is initiating one of his most important stages of his career.

As of today, the lineup on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage includes:

  • Aaron Tippin – Friday, July 29 at 8:30 p.m.
