Mariachi Trailblazers – Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles

By Jeremy Larochelle / September 16, 2015 / Comments Off on Mariachi Trailblazers – Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles

  I celebrated Mexican Independence Day (Grito de Dolores) as I do most other holidays – putting on a show. This one was special, because it featured America’s first all female mariachi group Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles. To say this performance was great would be an understatement.
