Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles: Pioneers of Their Genre Make Their Way to Casino Arizona

They are a great pride to the Mexican music community. They are also pioneers in the genre of Mariachi; but above all, they are a respected talent discovered in Arizona. They are the leading musical sensation known as Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles –  an all female group founded by Jose Hernandez in 1994. 

“My intention was to create a serious mariachi, that even the men see that women were capable of playing as good as them,” said its founder. Mr. Hernandez, a teacher of mariachi music, not only managed to realize his dream, but has also created a unique history, considering Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles is the first professional female mariachi. “My greatest pride is to say that they have set the example for many women.”

To date, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles has managed to record three albums and has been nominated for Grammy and Latin Grammy awards. They are also notable for having shared the stage with famous international performers such as Vicki Carr, Guadalupe Pineda, and Lucha Villa. The success achieved so quickly spread, that their first concert was next to the Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Lola Beltran, and Lucha Villa. When the great Lucha Villa listened to their interpretations, at that moment she offered to be their godmother.

Notably, their teacher or “el maestro Hernandez” lavishes words to express his pride: “They are a group that has put women in a higher esteem. In a way, they are pioneers in their genre. What I can honestly say to the young people who are playing this music is that they have something very special in their hands,” Hernandez said with great emotion, “tell them I do not give due… to never lose the respect and love of Mexican music.” 

If you want to witness the legacy of Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles in the music industry, you’ll soon have that chance because this successful group will be performing in the “Showroom” Casino Arizona. They promise to offer the best of their repertoire with many original medleys and varied arrangements. It is a show that will be held on a symbolic date for Mexicans, September 16, when Mexico’s independence is celebrated.
