Mariachi represents the spirit of Mexican culture; While listening to the instruments and observing an elegantly dressed mariachi, spectators feel a sense of joy and nostalgia, followed by unconscious cries of joy that makes us feel proud to be Mexicans, inside and outside our borders.
In 1961, Natividad “Nati” Cano founded Mariachi Los Camperos, Nati Cano was one of the pioneers in taking mariachi music out of the cantinas to present in some of the most important concert halls and theaters inside and outside the United States, such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center in New York, Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara, among other places, turning Nati Cano, also known as “the mariachi giant” into a mentor and teacher for the new generations of musicians in the American union and recognized as a influential contributor of musical evolution of mariachi, winning two Grammys, in addition to other important recognitions.
