The universally renowned and acclaimed Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan comes to City National Civic for a rare San Jose-area appearance. The first incarnation of the group Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán began in 1898 as a quartet, and over the decades (and into the 21st century), the ensemble would become one of the most important in Mexican music history. For five generations, Mariachi Vargas has endured as the quintessential mariachi, appearing in more than 200 films and making numerous recordings.
Mariachi Vargas' appearance on Linda Rondstadt's well-received Canciones de Mi Padre won the vocalist a Grammy in 1987; she would later go on to tour with the group, exposing international audiences to the Mexican mariachi sound.
