José Angel Ledezma Quintero (born November 1, 1970), known professionally as El Coyote, is a Mexican banda singer.[1]

Life

[edit]

Ledesma grew up in the town of Coyotitán, Sinaloa. Before he planned to be a musician, he wanted to play baseball professionally, which made him travel to Mazatlán, Sinaloa; the capital of the big-name Sinaloan bandas. This is where he slowly began to get the nickname "El Coyote". In 1989, Ledesma debuted in Banda El Limón, leaving aside his baseball dreams for a moment. Music eventually became his priority, and when he turned 19 years old, he would become part of the first generation of banda vocalists; making his own style and texture of music which came natural with his voice. Ledesma was also a part of Banda La Costeña de Ramón López Alvarado, La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga, and Banda Los Recoditos. He recorded various albums as vocalist with these groups. In 1997, he recorded an album with Los Recoditos that was not released at the time. Before starting his solo career, he had recorded the album "Me Lo Contaron Ayer" with La Original Banda El Limón, released in 1997. The album recorded with Banda Los Recoditos for Musart, was released in 2004 as "Mis Corridos Escondidos". Banda Los Recoditos had re-recorded the same songs with another vocalist and released it in 1997 in an album titled "El Nylon". Finally, in December 1997, Ledesma debuted with his first solo album "Aquí Me Quedaré" with EMI.
