The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre's influence spread, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. "Nuestra Herencia," their 2017 debut album, topped the Latin streaming charts. 2018's "Herencia de la Tierra Mía" was produced by celebrated industry veteran Javier Limón and charted atop all major streaming services. 2019's "Esencia" topped industry charts, while a second volume issued in 2020 performed similarly. In 2022, the group released "Herederos" while performing a wildly successful North American tour.
Prior to the performance, there will be an Hispanic Heritage Month celebration with Latinos Organizing for Understanding and Development (LOUD), a statewide initiative focused on promoting collaboration between Latino arts and service organizations, artists and the communities in which they operate. The celebration runs from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Overture's Rotunda Stage.
The first annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration organized by LOUD is an amazing collection of six talented local Hispanic artists, creating portraits of six longstanding Latino community leaders.
