Education and early life
Edwin was raised alongside his three older brothers in Monterrey, by their late father Don Miguel Luna, perhaps known better as ‘El Gorrion’, who was half of the famous music duo El Palomo y El Gorrion; the name of Edwin’s mother remains undisclosed.
He was around six when he became passionate about music, and eight when he performed live for the first time, after his father brought him onto the stage. Edwin then spent several years hating music, mostly because his family forced him to sing at parties and family gatherings; he became interested in it again while attending a local high school, and was 15 when he joined his first band. Edwin changed a couple of bands in the following years, including Piricuaco Band, Virgilio Canales y Liberacion, and Banda Sinaloa.
He matriculated in 2006, and then focused on music rather than enrolling at college.
Music career

The lead single “Broche de Oro” from their second album “La Banda Grande de la Sultana del Norte” was released in 2014, and Banda la Trakalosa then collaborated with Tierra Sagrada on their new album “Reto de Exitos ReMex”. Their compilation album “Asi Cantaba Mi Padre” followed in 2016, and the year 2017 saw them release two albums: “Mi Otro Yo” and “10+10”.
