Can I request specific songs for a banda performance in Las Vegas?
Yes. Most bandas happily take a song list — message the group through MusicYaa with your requests at least a week before the event. Standard repertoire is usually included; very rare or technical requests may incur a small rehearsal fee. For sentimental selections (a parent's favorite, a "tu eres tu" surprise) most groups will accommodate with notice.
Do bandas in Las Vegas bring their own sound equipment?
Most professional bandas bring their own amplification for groups under ~30 musicians and venues under ~200 guests. For larger venues like Strip wedding chapels and private ranches in Henderson, confirm sound coverage when booking — some groups partner with local sound providers or include AV in the package. Outdoor events almost always need additional power; the artist will flag this in their profile or messages.
