Ramon López Alvarado, after his stint with Los Escamillas, chose to establish an orchestra of his own. Known also as Reina del Pacifico, Banda La Costeña consists of sixteen musicians who specialize in the tambora sinaolense style, a regional form tied to the Mexican state of Sinaloa and shaped by a range of experimental rhythms and harmonies. Ulises López Carvajal and Edgardo López Carvajal assumed direction of the ensemble once their father died in the late 1990s.

February 2001 brought the occasion of Banda La Costeña’s fiftieth anniversary in the music business.
