Mariachi Herencia de México
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. The 2x Latin GRAMMY®-nominated band has issued six chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians.
Nuestra Herencia, their 2017 debut album, topped the Latin streaming charts and earned the band their first Latin GRAMMY®-nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía and the two-volume series, Esencia and Esencia, Vol. 2 issued in 2019 and 2020, respectively, charted atop all major streaming platforms and industry charts.
In 2022, Herederos appeared as the band were performing a wildly successful North American tour. Herederos received a 2023 Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. In 2025, Mariachi Herencia de México released the groundbreaking album Viva La Música, with six hit singles (Inolvidable , Preciosa , La Murga , Perdón , Espléndida and Caminaré) that have amassed millions of views and streams worldwide. The young, virtuosic band is composed of 15 musicians representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.
