DE MÉXICO

HEREDEROS

WITH SPECIAL GUEST MARISOL “LA MARISOUL” HERNÁNDEZ

THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL

Mariachi Herencia de México, reconocidos como nominados al Latin GRAMMY, ha traído una notable evolución al género del mariachi. Su repertorio bilingüe fusiona a la perfección diversos géneros musicales, incluidos bolero, cumbia, tango y swing. Compartiendo escenario con ellos no es otra que la ganadora del GRAMMY Marisol “La Marisoul” Hernández, una figura fundamental como miembro fundadora de La Santa Cecilia, que encarna la voz de la nueva generación bicultural en los Estados Unidos.

A new generation takes mariachi to new heights when Latin GRAMMY nominee Mariachi Herencia de México presents Herederos (The Heirs). Simultaneously honoring the past, celebrating the present, and creating the future of mariachi music, Mariachi Herencia de México brings an unforgettable night of Mexican music and culture to The Conrad. Their bilingual repertoire blends genres like bolero, cumbia, tango, and swing with lyrics that speak of the Latino and immigrant identity. The group emerged in 2016 from a program in the Chicago Public Schools and has gone on to record five albums, with hits topping the Latin streaming charts.

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 the Mariachi Herencia de México. The energetic, virtuosic Latin GRAMMY-nominated group has issued chart-topping albums and performed across the North American continent. 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, Herederos appeared as the group were performing a wildly successful North American tour and has been nominated for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album at the Latin GRAMMYs!
