Banda La Exclusiva de Jerez arrasa en su género musical
Por Mundo Musical SA
Los amantes del género musical
zacatecano han sido gran parte del
éxito que “Banda La Exclusiva
de Jerez” ha logrado en sus cinco
años de haberse creada.
La banda nació por iniciativa de
un experimentado grupo de músi-
cos encabezados por Pedro Gálvez
Rodarte, quien magistralmente
toca el clarinete.
Por esta razón, Rodarte dice:
“Estamos agradecidos con
nuestros seguidores, que desde
que se formó Banda La Exclusiva
de Jerez nos han dado su respaldo.
Por igual a los artistas y solistas a
quienes hemos acompañado en sus
presentaciones de grandes concier
tos y tradicionales festivales.
Nuestra música ya es reconocida
en las regiones norte y occidente
