The historic tradition of mariachi music has roots in cities like Guadalajara and Mexico City, places where the festive folk style lived its past glory days in the mid-1900s. Today, the future of the evolving genre may rest in the hands of a dynamic ensemble from the capital of the American Midwest: Chicagos Mariachi Herencia de Mxico.The Latin GRAMMY-nominated group of young Mexican-American musicians have released four highly acclaimed studio albums with chart-topping debuts on both the Billboard and the iTunes Latin Albums charts, defying a music industry trend and pointing to a revival in recorded mariachi music.Mariachi expert and historian Jonathan Clark describes their recent album Esencia, Vol 2 as A masterpiece. This is mariachi music at its most sophisticated and most modernistic. Its almost the antithesis of folklore, almost futuristic. Maybe 20 or 30 years from now, all groups will sound like this, I dont know. But it is state-of-the-art.Mariachi Herencia de Mxico has toured throughout the U.S., Mexico and Canada performing in some of the most prestigious performing arts centers across the continent, including Washington D.C.s The Kennedy Center and Guadalajaras Teatro Degollado. The group has performed alongside major artists like Lila Downs, Aida Cuevas, Los Lobos, Pedro Fernndez, as well as some of the most respected mariachi groups from both sides of the border, including Mariachi Vargas de Tecatitln, Los Camperos, Sol de Mexico, Cobre, and the all-female group Reyna de Los Angeles, demonstrating that this group of young musicians have the talent, training and bravado to hold their own with the best in the world.
