“Flor de Toloache stuns at the crossroads of fusion and mariachi girl magic.” — NPR

Experience the enchanting sounds of Flor de Toloache, the Latin GRAMMY Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated all-female mariachi band that is breaking boundaries with their innovative blend of traditional and contemporary Latin American music. Founded in 2008 by Mireya I. Ramos and Shae Fiol, Flor de Toloache is NYC’s first and only all-women mariachi band. The members hail from Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Nicaragua, and the United States, bringing a rich tapestry of cultural influences to their music. Like the legendary love potion from the Toloache flower, Flor de Toloache casts a spell with their powerful vocals and captivating stage presence.

Flor de Toloache has performed internationally, from Mexico to Japan, and toured extensively across the US, Europe, and Latin America. Their groundbreaking approach has earned them acclaim, with headlines such as “The new kings of mariachi are all women” (HuffPost) and “alt-mariachi” (Rolling Stone).

The group has collaborated with renowned artists such as John Legend, Miguel, Dan Auerbach (Black Keys), Café Tacvba, Natalia Lafourcade, Tigres del Norte, Lila Downs, Chicano Batman, and No Te Va Gustar. They have been featured in significant events and platforms including the Kennedy Center Honors, Kate Spade’s Spring campaign, Kia, Paul McCartney’s Holiday Rules Vol. 2, Southern Poverty Law Center, Harry Connick Show, The View, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, and Oprah Magazine.

Their latest release, Motherflower, is a fiercely feminist mosaic of genres inspired by mariachi, showcasing their ability to transcend cultural and gender boundaries.
