Mariachi Herencia de México: A Modern Twist on Traditional Music
In the heart of Chicago, a musical revolution is taking place, blending the rich history of mariachi with a modern, contemporary twist. Mariachi Herencia de México, a group born out of the Mariachi Heritage Foundation in 2016, is making waves across the nation with their innovative approach to this beloved tradition.
A National Success Story
With five albums under their belt and two Latin Grammy nominations to their name, Mariachi Herencia de México has proven themselves to be more than just another mariachi band. While they honor many traditional mariachi customs, they are not afraid to push boundaries and explore new musical horizons.
Embracing Diversity
One of the key elements that sets Mariachi Herencia de México apart is their willingness to infuse classic mariachi sounds with influences from salsa, Latin soul, jazz, and even songs from other Latine cultures. This fusion of styles gives their music a fresh, contemporary feel while still paying homage to their roots.
Celebrating Tradition
Comprised of 14 members ranging in age from 18 to 32, Mariachi Herencia de México stays true to the traditional mariachi configuration of brass, vihuela, and guitarrón. Their performances are a true spectacle, with each member not only showcasing their musical talent but also conveying deep emotions through their powerful vocals.
