SUMMARY:Mariachi Herencia de Mexico
DESCRIPTION:The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread\, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. The 2x Latin GRAMMY®-nominated band has issued five chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians. Nuestra Herencia\, their 2017 debut album\, topped the Latin streaming charts and earned the band their first Latin GRAMMY®-nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía and the two-volume series\, Esencia and Esencia\, Vol. 2 issued in 2019 and 2020\, respectively\, charted atop all major streaming platforms and industry charts. In 2022\, Herederos appeared as the band were performing a wildly successful North American tour. Herederos received a 2023 Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. The young\, virtuosic band is composed of 14 musicians\, ages 18-32\, representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.
