MARIACHI USA™ Festival will take place on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at COTA. The iconic festival that has played the Hollywood Bowl since 1990 will showcase top Mariachi bands from the USA and Mexico, traditional folkloric dances and a legendary sing-a-long fireworks finale.
Founded and created by artist/producer, Rodri J Rodriquez, the festival plays homage to an important music genre and cultural tradition. MARIACHI USA™ celebrates the rich mariachi music tradition that many Mexicans take pride in and non-Mexicans embrace as the happy music of the world. Today, it is enjoyed across the world and by countless ethnicities.

Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan from Guadalajara, Jalisco, birthplace of Mariachi, is currently the favorite worldwide due to their impeccable arrangements, traditional interpretations and showmanship.
Two-time GRAMMY Award recipient, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano originated in 1961. Their violin section is the strongest in this genre and their vocal strength is breathtaking. The new generation of Los Camperos’ charge of maintaining mariachi excellence is at its best.
Mariachi Campanas de America from San Antonio, Texas, has long been the White House favorite and the San Antonio Spurs’ National Anthem mariachi. Their long-standing non-traditional approach to mariachi is the inclusion of sax, keyboards and congas, earning them consistent standing ovations.
The all-female Mariachi Las Alteñas are equally stunning as they are learned musicians. Texas’s first all-female mariachi excel in their interpretations adding a unique flavor to what has been traditionally a male-dominated genre.
Mariachi Los Arrieros del Valle, based in McAllen, Texas, always delivers stellar performances featuring harmonious vocals, masterful execution of classical, traditional and contemporary arrangements. Their vibrant stage presence has wow factor.
Trio Los Panchos, based in Veracruz, Mexico, is unequivocally the world’s most famous trio. Gaby Vargas is the group’s only second requinto player since his father Alfredo El Güero Gil passed. El Güero is the creator of the ‘requinto’ a smaller version of the guitar with its own unique sound. Gil inherited Gaby with the group and it’s iconic history. The Trio’s impeccable harmonies of their hits instinctively create the audience singing along wherever they perform in the world.
