The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. The two-time Latin Grammy-nominated band has issued five chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent, paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians. The young, virtuosic band is composed of 14 musicians, ages 18-32, representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.
