Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán is the most famous mariachi ensemble in the world, a Mexican institution going back generations and widely credited with shaping mariachi music into the form most people recognize today. Their sound covers ranchera and música mexicana with the full traditional lineup of strings, trumpets, and vocals.

They have Colorado dates coming up at the Paramount Theatre, a rare chance to hear this level of mariachi tradition live.
