There are no words to describe the fabulous "Mariachi Spectacular" we attended on Saturday. The talent exhibited by each of the performing groups was beyond measurement. If their talent could be converted to gold, there would be enough money to give each resident of the United States and Canada a million dollars EACH!! I've attended the show the last three years and have yet to encounter EVEN ONE SECOND of disappointment. The "Mariachi Spectacular", without question, is the BEST SHOW in the WHOLE WORLD!!
This is one of our favorite annual family events that we look forward to attend. This year's line up was great and even better with the addition of the Floklorico Dancers and Roping Charros. Until next year Mariachi Spectacular ... Nombre Sea Dios!
There was rain but the musicians made it a great experience! Totally recommend it.
An amazing mix of style of music and culture. An amazing event for family and friends.
This show was amazing! So many talented musicians and loved to watch the Ballet Folklorico dancers.
All the acts were excellent; talented, professional, entertaining. The musicians were all so good it was hard to pick the best. There wwas dancing and rope performers to make the whole experience even more entertaining and enjoyable. There was a bit of a rain storm that was on and off for about 45 minutes but the Sandia people provided free plastic ponchos; the evening was so much fun and the talent so good that we gladly donned our ponchos and stayed put. Will definitely attend again if they are there next year.
Amphitheater was gorgeous, weather was just right and the Mariachi entertainment was amazing.. definetely will be back with more family and friends next year!
Superb musicians! It was very nice the spectacle was not interrupted by presenting a lot of people that the majority of the audience don't know and don't care to know.
The whole show was spectacular, enjoy listening and being in person to view all the performers.
It was an amazing concert of the best music in the world. It is good to have only mariachi performances without a guest singer. The mariachi has enough great singers amongst them. The variety of music was wonderful. It was heartwarming to hear the student winners of their competition. Good to know this music will continue. Kudos to Norberta and the rest of people involved in this great endeavor!!!!!!
The venue was great! The weather was surprisingly wonderful - EVERYone was afraid it was going to rain (since the Sandia Amphitheater in an OUTDOOR ONLY venue. And IF it happened to rain?? There would be NO REFUNDS. Many concert-goers planned ahead and took UMBRELLAS - which (understandably) were confiscated upon entering the premises.
The performances were as as advertised, Awesome. The final three Mariachi groups all included a "Harp" musician. The Group from Guadalajara, was especially amazing. The five minutes, plus solo was worth the price of admission. I can not say the same for the audience. The people seated behind me, to sing along with the performers, on stage. I had to ask them to please allow me to hear the performers on the stage. The show was a little too long. I went for over 4 hrs. That was due to the long speeches by the Governor of NM.
The Mariachi Spectacular was amazing and wonderful to see. I am already planning to attend next year's show, however, I want to book my seats earlier. The Amphitheater has no bad seats. You shouldn't miss the next show.
This concert was definitely worth the money, 5 hours of very entertaining music.
The music was outstanding but there was far too much talk before the music even started. The music didn't get going for almost the first hour and because of that the show ran almost to midnight, Because everyone wasn't from Albuquerque, some of us had to leave before the show was over just in time to get home before breakfast. I know it is important to honor people but it could be done much faster. And having the Governor speak twice was way too much.
This was an amazing show this year! ! It was a true SPECTACULAR! !
Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Mariachi Vargas, and Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan, what more could you ask for? Even the opener, Mariachi Tesoro, was really good, despite not being at the level of the other three. The show opened with the American National Anthem, then the Mexican Himno Nacional, and went into the Master Class performance, with tributes to the late Miguel Martinez and Laura Sobrino, and just got better and better. It was four and a half hours long, with no intermission, but it was worth every minute!
Music was really enjoyable but the seats were off to the side and only saw them if they moved around
We have been at the event for three years and have enjoyed it so much that we take more friends every year. It is a wonderful cultural event and we thoroughly enjoyed it, again this year. I like that we hear regional songs that we are not familiar with but I love, love the music that we all know and love. The events before the concert are very worthwhile for our youth in order to keep Mariachi music alive and I commend the event planners and coordinator. Will keep attending even though it is a little far for us Texans. Definitely worth it!!!
