Latin Grammy Nominees Mariachi Flor de Toloache make New York City
history as its’ First and Only All-Women Mariachi Group. Reminiscent of
the early days of mariachi the group started as a trio, Harp, Violin and
Vihuela. Today, Mariachi Flor De Toloache performs as a full Mariachi
ensemble.
The members hail from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Mexico,
Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany,
Italy and the United States. This defines their unique flavor and sound.
The result of this cultural bouquet is an edgy, versatile and fresh take on
traditional Mexican music. They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with
a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences not
unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love
potion. While working to preserve centuries old traditions of Mariachi,
their melange of the traditional and the modern pushes the boundaries
of the genre and brings Mariachi music to new audiences.
