Since this group's beginning, the luck has carried these talented women to reach new heights in a male-dominated genre. Mariachi Las Caponeras is the first all-female mariachi in El Paso, Texas. The group was founded by it's director, Rocio Ramos, in December of 2000. Since its inception, Mariachi Las Caponeras has paved the road for other all-female groups that have emerged in the area.
