Every day is another chance to get things right...

About Me

In 2001, local mariachi musicians joined talents to create Mariachi Sol Azteca. Originally comprised of 5 members, Sol Azteca has grown to its now 11 piece ensemble. The instrumentation is very unique to the mariachi tradition, consisting of Violins, Trumpets, a Guitarron (bass), Vihuela (tenor), Harp, Guitar and Voice. Under the direction of Angel Guzman and Adam Romo, the ensemble has worked diligently to create a sound progressive to Mariachi music. The group has traveled as far east as New Mexico and North in Phoenix, performing with local and international talent including: Suzette Marquez, Samantha Gonzales, and the famous Yolanda del Rio. Sol Azteca also has taken action in mariachi education by hosting an annual Mariachi Summer Academy, focused on spreading mariachi education to the youth of our city. Mariachi Sol Aztecas dedication to mariachi music is strong and without tenacity. They continue to provide services and perform throughout Arizona to present their unique interoperation of Mariachi music.
