The biggest mariachi music pageant in the US came about this summer time on the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The thirty third annual MARIACHI USA centered a style that is rooted in people traditions and has change into an emblem of Mexican tradition. The present honored Vicente Fernández, an icon of ranchera music, and highlighted songs made common by the legend.
The lineup featured an array of performers, together with Grammy award-winning Mariachi Divas, Mariachi Estrella de México, Mariachi Los Reyes, Mariachi Lindas Mexicanas and Mi Tierra Ballet Folklórico. Silvia Estrada and Mayra Martinez of the Mariachi Lindas lately sang back-up to Omar Apollo‘s tune “En El Olvido” throughout his Tiny Desk live performance.
“Rancheras is a music style that dates again to early 1900s (some say early 1800s), thus it will likely be like great-grandma singing Las Mañanitas to grandma, ” stated Rodri Rodriguez, the pageant’s founder, producer and host. She created the occasion to offer mariachi a discussion board for creative expression and a method to have fun the wealthy musical traditions that so many have come to take pleasure in.
