This is one of the very best mariachi bands in the world, and it’s a great honor to San Antonio that they make their home here. The music, with its horns and strings making sounds to echo the sweetness and sadness of the world, is a symbol of México, and Mariachi Vargas began in Tecalitlán, Jalisco, in in 1897, by Don Gaspar Vargas. It was originally a quintet, and has evolved tremendously over the years. They have scored over 200 films in México, and have recorded over 70 records. Now there are 13 permanent members, and there are a host of others who play with them, including Linda Ronstadt. The music is extremely exciting, vibrant and lusciously layered, giving the audience a total immersion into their sound. It spans centuries and cultures, and today is one of the most accomplished group of musicians anywhere.
