Pistolera is a NYC-based band that plays an original brand of latin pop-folklorico. Drawing from traditional styles of Mexican music the electrifying quartet features the Spanish lyric songs of vocalist and guitarist Sandra Lilia Velasquez, the driving accordion melodies of Maria Elena, and the unbeatable rhythm section of bassist Inca B. Satz and drummer Ani Cordero (also leader of the epnonymous Cordero).

The band’s next area gigs are:

Friday Jan 26 at the Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston St. (w/Les Sans Culottes 9:30, Pistolera 10:30, Cuban Cowboys 11:30)

Friday Feb 23 at D’Antigua, 84-16 Northern Boulevard, Jackson Heights, Queens, 11:30pm

Friday April 20 at Brooklyn Academy of Music BAM Cafe, 30 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, 9pm
