Despite his strong Cuban influence and growing up in Miami, Orlando took an interest in country music in high school and soon earned the nickname “Cuban Cowboy.” When Orlando’s grandfather passed away, Orlando learned from his dad that his grandfather was a real Cuban Cowboy. This made Orlando feel even more connected to his country roots. Orlando started his own band eight months ago that he is very proud to call the Orlando Mendez Band. The band started off in the Florida Keys but is now booking gigs all over the state.
