About Mariachi Sol de México
Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández has risen to international prominence since its founding in 1981 by maestro José Hernández, a fifth-generation mariachi musician, composer, arranger, singer, and educator. The ensemble, often hailed as one of the nation’s premier groups, features highly accomplished musicians who perform traditional rancheras, sones, huapangos, boleros, and innovative fusions—including symphonic mariachi arrangements—while upholding a rich cultural heritage. Under Hernández’s direction, the group has performed in renowned venues worldwide, recorded with legends like Selena, Vicente Fernández, Luis Miguel, Bryan Adams, and the Beach Boys, and earned multiple Grammy nominations (including in Best Regional Mexican Music Album categories). Hernández also founded pioneering initiatives like Reyna de Los Angeles® (America’s first all-female professional mariachi), the Mariachi Nationals and Summer Institute, and the Mariachi Heritage Society to empower future generations.
