Minneapolis Mariachi show

Their show is a cultural presentation of Latin American songs and rhythms, the music can be lively and happy as well as nostalgic and romantic, and the songs are presented with explanations of the meaning, roots, and origins of the music; I.e. explaining how a song like “La Bamba” has African, Native American, and Spanish roots.

This Minneapolis Mariachi is as comfortable presenting a “huapango” from the sierras of Mexico as well as a “ranchera” from central Mexico, that can be danced on a “waltz” tempo. Other performances include “cumbias” from Colombia, “cuecas” from Chile, “carnavalitos” from Bolivia, and “Valses Peruanos” (Peruvian Waltzes).
