Tribute to Women in Mariachi Music
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Jacobs Presents will have a Mexican Fiesta to pay Tribute to Linda Ronstadt and Women in Mariachi Music, where all-female Mariachi Flor de San Diego and Mariachi Uclatlán de Los Angeles will be playing Ronstadt’s songs. Enjoy entertainment for the whole family, great Mexican Food, and the performance of Ballet Folklorico Nanahuatzin and DanzArts – Sabor Mexico Dance Co. The acclaimed Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles will also be part of this tribute.
As America’s first all-female Mariachi Group, Reyna has been taking on a male-dominated musical tradition and building the popularity of Mariachi music since its founding in 1994. In this occasion, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles will be paying tribute to Grammy-Award winning Linda Ronstadt, with canciones that are part of Ronstadt’s family tradition and musical roots.
In addition to the tribute, an exhibit on History of Women in Mariachi Music will be displayed, including original Trajes Charros (Mariachi Suits) from different time periods.
