This is your chance to be part of the magic. Join us for a night in Capitol Theater that celebrates the heart and soul of mariachi music.

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. "Nuestra Herencia," their 2017 debut album, topped the Latin streaming charts. 2018's "Herencia de la Tierra Mía" was produced by celebrated industry veteran Javier Limón and charted atop all major streaming services. 2019's "Esencia" topped industry charts, while a second volume issued in 2020 performed similarly. In 2022, the group released "Herederos" while performing a wildly successful North American tour.
