Mariachi Sol de Mexico on Tour
When Mariachi Sol de Mexico comes to town, the 13-piece ensemble brings one of Mexico's most joyful and impressive cultural heritage with them. Founded in 1981 by Maestro Jos� Hern�ndez, Mariachi Sol's strings, horns, guitars, emotional vocals and colorful traditional outfits known as charro suits offer a rich live experience. With 19 albums to their name, they are steeped in a tradition that Hern�ndez keeps up-to-date with passion and professionalism.
The group's recent album Leyendas de Mi Pueblo (Legends of My Land) offers a Grammy-nominated deep dive into the music of Mexican composers Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante and Miguel Aceves Mej�a. It also pays homage to legendary performers Alfredo Jim�nez, Javier Solis and Vicente Fernandez.
A Mariachi Sol de Mexico concert is a trip through Mexico punctuated by those cathartic, joyous yells known as gritos. And you don't need to speak Spanish to soak up the experience. After all, as Jos� Hern�ndez once put it, "you are coming to another kind of celebration. Instead of a party, you are coming to a fiesta."
About Mariachi Sol de Mexico
Mariachi's origins lie in the countryside, but it became the sound of urban Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century. Jos� Hern�ndez is a fifth-generation musician who started his own group after playing in his father's Mariachi los Galleros. Based in Los Angeles, Hern�ndez is a trumpeter, bandleader, producer, scholar and teacher. He founded the nonprofit Mariachi Heritage Society in 1991.
For Hern�ndez, mariachi is very much a living art � it's folk music that can assume symphonic proportions. Mariachi Sol performed on Linda Ronstadt's hit album Canciones de Mi Padre and worked with Willie Nelson, the Beach Boys and Jos� Feliciano. The group's music is also heard in the films Seabiscuit, American Me and Glory Road.
The performers in Mariachi Sol de Mexico sing about love, death, betrayal, politics, country life and revolutionary heroes in corridos, boleros, rancheras, huapangos, jarabes, polkas, waltzes and other traditional Mexican styles. The group is also renowned for their annual "Merry-Achi" Christmas concerts. In Mariachi Sol lies the beating heart of Mexico, and it's bringing the fiesta to you.
My son and I went to the Mariachi concert for the first time, and we both thought that it was a once in a lifetime experience, I recommend it for people who like mariachi music.🇲🇽🎺🎻🎼👍
Loved the tribute to Javier Solis and Angeles Ochoa presentation
What a great show. MARIACHI Sol De Mexico sang all our favorites. However, the pre-show comedian was horrible. Disgusting vulgar language. MARIACHI Sol De Mexico is a well respected group with excellent musicians and singers. I will definitely see them again and hope I never see that comedian again.
It was all around a good evening, the show was entertaining and we had a great time.
Awesome concert! Loved the folkloric dancing. All Mariachi groups were excellent.
Is the best mariachi show in the world every time I go to see them is a completely new show and experience
I had never been to the venue. Every seat looked to be a good seat. We were in the middle. Sound was fantastic. Mariachi entered and it was non-stop music up until the intermission. Singers were excellent and had fantastic range. Instruments were top. The music and the experience was wonderful. However, as a long time Juan Gabriel fan, I know it was schtick, and meant for comedic effect, but leave the jokes of his lifestyle out please and let's focus on the maestro's music. No one makes jokes of Leonard Bernstein when performing WestSide Story. And then ending was kind of flat. La Negra is iconic. Lights should have been off. Next thing I know the lights turn up, the dancers come out and the children are brought forward. Both my guest and I felt the same thing, it felt like a hurried after thought. Maetro Hernandez, lo felicito, y espero que no tome mis palabras a mal. Maybe bring the children out before intermission and let your encore, be your finale. Thank you for a wonderful experience. First concert I've been to since the pandemic and I did enjoy it very much. Gracias. Que Dios los bendiga. Mela
What a great performance! They were very interactive with the crowd and played and sung beautifully! My dad is a big mariachi fanatic and he says this was by far one of his favorite performances. Will definitely see them again!
Enjoyed another year of Mariachi Sol de Mexico this year and once again, the entire experience was festive, welcoming, and the musical performance was outstanding. Will attend again next year. Thank you!
Mariachi Sol de Mexico is an amazing group of highly trained professional musicians who play traditional and contemporary Mariachi music. The venue was at San Diego Balboa Theatre. The acoustics enhanced the musical sound and voices. However, the stage could have benefitted with a projection of regions that the band's songs originated from. On another note, the refreshments stand didn't have a wide range of Mexican beverages or baked goods.
