Mariachi San Jose

Greetings from Mariachi San Jose!

About Me

Mariachi San Jose
Formed in 2001, this co-ed group is comprised of nine members, mostly college students or graduates, with the exception of two members still in high school. Each member has participated in music programs or have taken private music lessons, therefore, they all are proficient musicians in their respective instruments and vocals. They are very accomplished musicians who have shared the stage with adult mariachi groups at various concerts and events.

In the past several years, Mariachi San Jose has won numerous awards including first place at both the New Mexico Mariachi Spectacular! Youth Mariachi Competition (2001) and the Banos May Fair Youth Competition for three consecutive years (2002-2004). They have performed at public venues including benefits for the San Francisco 49ers, Paramount's Great America, and the pre-game show for the Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Colliseum. They were also invited and performed at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Vista, CA.

Mariachi San Jose perform in concerts and public and private events throughout the Bay Area. Requests for outside of the Bay Area are considered based on time frame, dates, and travel time. Out-of-state requests are considered based on dates, lodging, and travel arrangements.
