Photo by Nicky HamilaSergio Mendoza is 28. He is a native of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, but currently lives in Tucson, Ariz. where he plays with his band, Y La Orkesta, in the heart of downtown.

Although Mendoza was raised by his family in Nogales in both Sonora and Arizona, he has walked the line between the roots of his culture and the environment of rock music in the United States. With that, he managed to infuse both influences of rock and indie mambo to create his sound. For the last two months, Mendoza Y La Orkesta has been touring all around Europe, from Italy to France, and are now back in Tucson gearing up for a new year of performances in the spring at the Rialto Theatre.

Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkesta's MySpace page is here.
