Puro Bandido was formed by Jose Mayorga in 1978. Jose, now deceased, was joined by Richard Segovia and Rolando Contreras keeping Jose's dreams alive with the other members of Puro Bandido. The music is high energy, Latin Rock and was formed in the Mission District of San Francisco. Puro Bandido was instrumental in the development of Border Rock - crossing all borders; having no boundaries. Their Sound is a combination of old school and new sounds created by a combination of a driving percussion, a rhythm section incomparable and vocals to match. The band has opened for Linda Ronstadt, Tower of Power, Eddie Palmieri, and Santana. They were featured at the Heineken Regatta in St. Maarten, Caribbean; and numerous festivals throughout the United States.
