About El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa
With his high, nasal Sinaloan voice and sentimental repertoire, El Coyote reflects a vision of Mexican masculinity that loves totally and, when it loses, suffers profoundly. Born José Angel Ledezma Quintero in 1970 and raised in Coyotitán (hence his nickname), he moved to Mazatlán to play baseball but instead found a home in the Sinaloan style of horn-heavy acoustic banda music, singing with well-known outfits La Original Banda el Limón (where he made his 1989 debut), Banda la Costeña, and Banda los Recoditos. In 1997, Coyote formed his 15-piece Banda Tierra Santa and released their first album, Aquí Me Quedaré (Here I Will Stay), a set of tuba-pumping, drum-thumping declarations of love everlasting—though the heartbreaking title track laments his beloved’s “infamous and cruel betrayal.” Released in 1998, Concedeme (Grant Me) contained the narcocorrido "La Pista Enterrada" (The Buried Landing Strip) and rural fantasy "Mi Ranchito," pinches of salt that made his romantic confections all the sweeter. Coyote stayed his musical course for the next two decades, singing material written by star corrido composers such as Espinoza Paz of "Besitos en el Cuello" (Little Kisses on the Neck), and often landing in the top 10 of Mexican regional charts. In 2011, the band's stage was firebombed, allegedly by drug traffickers unhappy with Coyote praising their rivals in song. Coyote moved to the United States and subsequently concentrated on romantic material, but, as exemplified by the pistol-packing paramour of 2015's Loco Romantico, even his most sentimental songs pack a tough-guy twist.
