The first mariachis date back to the 1840s\, originating in rural areas of Jalisco\, Nayarit\, Colima\, and Michoacán in Western Mexico. Their repertoire included sones and danceable jarabes. In the 1930s\, mariachi music became urbanized and spread nationally through radio and globally during the golden age of Mexican cinema. This turned it into the principal vehicle for accompanying solo ranchera music singers\, such as Pedro Infante\, Jorge Negrete\, Lola Beltrán\, Antonio Aguilar\, Cuco Sánchez\, Lucha Villa\, Vicente Fernández\, and Juan Gabriel. Among the most distinguished mariachis are the Cuarteto Coculense\, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán\, and Mariachi Los Camperos. Let’s celebrate this magnificent Mexican tradition by singing some of the immortal hits of mariachi from yesterday and today. \nTo participate in “¡Canta!

Esto lo convirtió en el vehículo principal para acompañar a cantantes solistas de música ranchera\, tales como Pedro Infante\, Jorge Negrete\, Lola Beltrán\, Antonio Aguilar\, Cuco Sánchez\, Lucha Villa\, Vicente Fernández y Juan Gabriel. Entre los mariachis más destacados se encuentran el Cuarteto Coculense\, el Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán y el Mariachi Los Camperos.

With a strong background in American Studies and Public Humanities\, Dr. Gonzales has been curating since 2006\, beginning at the National Museum of Mexican Art. \nDr. Eric Hines is a distinguished percussionist and educator based in Chicago. He has been the drummer in Sones de Mexico Ensemble since 2015.

Beyond performing\, Eric is a sought-after clinician in concert\, marching\, and world percussion\, sharing his knowledge at prestigious events and institutions globally. \nIn Chicago\, Eric is a dedicated faculty member of Ravinia’s Jazz Mentors program and The People’s Music School\, where he directs Wind Ensemble\, teaches Applied Percussion\, and imparts Music Theory. Eric holds a DMA and MM from the University of Arizona and a BME from the University of Illinois Champaign/Urbana. \n“Our aim is to promote an informed awareness of the African root of Mexico and the profoundly significant role that Afromexicans have played in the formation of the contemporary Mexican identity. For musicians and artists\, Africa’s ancestral heart beats strongly in the soundscape of Mexico\, but sadly\, Afromexican presence is often underrepresented in conversations on Mexican history and culture. We invite our community to join us as we gaze through the lens of Mexican regional music to admire and celebrate Blackness in all aspects of Mexican society. Music is a truthful expression of the human experience\, and we hope this series will inspire unity and love throughout our diverse Chicago neighborhoods.” – Eric Hines \nNo registration necessary.
