=== Biographical notes === Lamberto Ibarra Nieblas, The father of Luis Ibarra Morales already managed an orchestra, whose name was "La Sinaloense", in Guasave, which disbanded when he died. At the beginning of the 1930s, Luis Ibarra Morales recreated the orchestra under the commercial name "Orchesta Ibarra". Panch Mena was the director of the orchestra for a few years, before he had to move elsewhere for private reasons. He later created his own band the "orquesta de Pancho Mena" which is remembered as the training ensemble of several famous musicians. The band was very popular from the 1930s to 1972, when its director went ill and disbanded in 1974.
