Mariachi Flor de Toloache's 2014 self-titled debut album earned a Latin Grammy nomination in the Best Ranchera category - quite an accomplishment, given that the category celebrates an incredibly long tradition of Mexican music. But it was no fluke: The group's members come by their mariachi skills honestly and with endless practice, while still looking for ways to take chances.
Still, the best way to introduce yourself to Mariachi Flor de Toloache is to see it live - something many have done as the band tours with The Arcs, both as members and as an opening act. It's got top-notch musicianship, mariachi swagger for days, and a performance style that captures all the power and emotion you'd hope for.
Mariachi Flor de Toloache is available now.

Thank you for sharing your perspectives and for those of you who support us, the passion that we put into our music and performance is real- I'm so glad it's felt. The best outcome is that you love our music as much as we do and we inspire each other to be great! Our band is a true expression of how mariachi has inspired us to fuse together all kinds music with its beautiful instruments, and style at the heart. We are multicultural. We are women of New York City absorbing its diversity and putting it into our sound. It's all about the love of music.

I don't know who is on the guitarron. The violinist is Mireya Ramos. She definitely has pipes and range! Shae Fiol is on the vihuela. Julie Acosta on the corneta. Shae and Mireya co-founded the group. Shae introduced Julie later and here they are. They are true musicians. All three of them can write, compose and arrange music. Composing and arranging might be the same thing, I don't know, I'm not a musician. But the point is that they can write song lyrics, come up with a melody and arrange the melody in a fantastic way. Plus, they have killer voices and play their instruments like nobody's business. They and their music are a mix of Hispanic, Caribbean and American cultures. Mireya is Dominican (mother) and Mexican (her father was a mariachi) raised in PR. Shae is white (mother) and Cuban (father). I can't remember Julie's background. Anyway, these girls are killing it. And you should definitely give them your money. 😁 They have 3 albums out and are Latin Grammy winners-Best Ranchera Album in 2017 for Las Caras Lindas and Grammy nominees in 2020 for a song- Besos de Mezcal and for the album Indestructible.

My dad died in 2013, he was 96, he and his brothers (my tios) were among the original mariachis of Guadalajara (lago chapala) when mariachi music first evolved from four musician string musicians in the 1930s to a full mariachi band (horns, violins, harp, guitar, guitarita, guitaron) mariachi music in the 40s and 50s. He played with all the pioneers and greats (Pedro infante, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Antonio Aguilar, Pedro infante, and others) after he died the San Francisco mariachi festival of 2014 was dedicated in his honor. My sister wrote a book on his life’s story LOS GUEROS DE LA SIERRA documenting his (and his brother’s) life as a mariachi going back to the beginning of pioneering mariachi music in Mexico. He died a humble quiet old man but at his funeral mariachis from all over Northern California paid him tribute at his burial. RIP Apa. Growing up we didn’t have furniture but our house looked like a music store, I still remember waking up with mi Apa coming home at 3-4am with other mariachis to wheel and deal on selling or buying instruments.

@LawlCam24 7 жыл бұрын

You are totally right. I found a video of these ladies playing at some Berkley radio show. The sound is awful. Their voices are tin-y, the bass is almost not there at all and everything needed to be EQ'd much better, or at all. It would have helped if the ladies played a little better, they seemed tired and didn't have half the energy as in this video. But still, the sound is terrible to be nice. Glad to see others appreciating good sound!

I am a fussy musical Mexican and all I can say is what a joy and pleasure it is to listen to a Mariachi band with this supreme high level of quality and musicality. You girls are absolutely incredible! Your voices, your harmonies, your groove, your ranges... oh my... I could go on and on. Suffice to say that I had goosebumps all the way. And to the critics out there, you should know that Mariachi came about thanks to a fusion of sorts between spanish, irish, french, mexican, and even gringo instruments & music, so Mariachi is multicultural by nature (if you doubt me check out the work of Anthropologist Jesús Jaúregui who made a thorough research about it). ... as are our food, our textiles and pretty much everything that we are proud of. And I for one could not be happier that Mariachi Flor de Toloache, a female Mariachi band! carries on taking Mariachi music to a whole new dimension. An absolute joy!

To all the haters because they are not a "traditional" Mariachi band I have to tell you that they play both traditional and fusion music so Amazingly I saw them perform last night at the San Francisco Symphony Hall and they blew everyone's minds. They are amazing performers, musicians and the first all female ensamble that is off course in male dominated scene. So what if they add different flavors to the mix? They did a "chingon" tribute to Juan Gabriel that gave me real goosebumps!! So please, stop hating, there's enough hatred out there to not appreciate real talent

Mariachi "bands" aren't really a thing, at least not historically. Mariachi musicians are typically hired by artists to play the instruments for them. Juan Gabriel, Ana Gabriel, Rocio Durcal (Spaniard), Vicente Fernandez, etc. are all known for being Mariachi singers but they've never been part of a mariachi"band." Hope that makes sense ;)

México is full of rich cultural heritage, including many music genres like "el son, el mariachi, las jaranas, la trova yucateca, el huapango, el fandango, las pirecuas, etc", check them out

Shae, red head, during "Guadalajara," 18:56 climbs up two notes, 19:00-19:05 vibrato of high note, 19:05-19:10, holds and sustains note. Some vocal acrobatics, right there. Wow!

Man, these women are on fire. Great singing, nice round mellow tone on that trumpet, Afro Blue on a mariachi band! I think their music is way more relevant than any other Mexican artist right now. They made what people like Natalia Lafourcade couldn't do. They just made a new fan.

@rss_r8742 4 жыл бұрын

"Traditional" mariachi music consists of playing the classics lol like vicente Fernandez, Negrete, and old music legends but, as mariachi is evolving to sound more modern, alot of people think that the past and traditions are being replaced or forgotten. I for one love the mix of mariachi and modern music. I also love playing the classics and i will never forget the mariachi legends that started mariachi altogether.

I am so glad to have found this group of fine musicians. Their technical and interpretative are second to none and any genre these girls try would be done with perfection. This is a live concert and all we hear is purely the talented vocals and musicianship of the four women. I am impressed with this concert and will be a fan for life.
