Mariachi Sol De Mexico De Jose Hernandez in Portland

Mariachi Sol De Mexico De Jose Hernandez is an American mariachi ensemble founded in Los Angeles in 1981 by fifth-generation mariachi musician José Hernández. Its repertoire draws on traditional Mexican sones, rancheras and boleros, while recordings such as Acapulco Girls and La Nueva Era brought the group’s large-ensemble arrangements to a wider audience. The ensemble established A Merry-Achi Christmas as a recurring holiday concert, performing Mexican seasonal music alongside familiar American Christmas songs. The production has played performing-arts theatres including Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa and The Soraya in Northridge, and the group has also appeared at the Hollywood Bowl.
