Mariachi Sol de México®, which currently has 13 members, is the brainchild of Jose Hernandez, who formed the group in 1981. An educator, composer, and world-famous musician, Hernandez is the fifth generation in his family to play mariachi music. However, he created the group not simply to continue the mariachi tradition, but to expand on it, bringing new ideas, sounds and rhythms to the genre.
Hernandez continues to compose new arrangements, and has worked on 15 albums for Sol de México. He is a vocalist, and also plays vihuela, guitarrón, violin, and trumpet, and has been seen at some of the most famous venues in the world. Hernandez has four Grammy nominations to his credit and has appeared with stars such as Selena, Bryan Adams, Luis Miguel, Vicente Fernandez, and the Beach Boys.
A review says:
“I’ve been to a handful of Marachi [sic] events, this one, by far has been thee [sic] best! . . . Rope dancing, folklórico & Veracruz dancers to name a few. Loved the Spanish/English dialect so everyone could enjoy the same experience. Till next year, Viva Mexico!”
The band will be at the San Diego Civic Theatre on June 18, 2021, at 8.00 pm. Poster printing could be used to create colorful advertising for an event of this type.
