America’s first ladies of mariachi, Navidad Mexicana is a holiday program featuring America’s first all-female mariachi ensemble, Reyna de Los Angeles®. They are a mesmerizing, energetic and powerful group of GRAMMY-nominated musicians who bring a dynamic character and intensity to their performances. Reyna de Los Angeles® brings sensitivity, beauty, warmth and vivacious spirit to the historic art of mariachi. In a musical landscape where songs are often written by men, from male perspectives, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles® has blazed the trail for female mariachi musicians. Established in 1994, the group was mentored by Lola Bertran, La Reina de La Musica Ranchera. Maestro Jóse Hernàndez saw the ensemble’s potential and fostered the development of the group. Reyna de Los Angeles® has recorded three albums, shared the stage with world-renowned musicians like Vicki Carr, Guadalupe Pineda and Lucha Villa and performed for some of the world’s highest profile celebrities including Tom Cruise, Oprah and Barack and Michelle Obama.
