About the performer: The Tucson Mariachi Conference Espectacular Concert draws from the rich lineage of the Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlán, founded in 1965 in Guadalajara, Jalisco by Pepe Martínez and Fernando Martínez. Known for a repertoire that spans rancheras, sones, huapangos, boleros, and classically influenced pieces, the ensemble upholds a legacy of musical excellence under the Martínez family. In 2025, the TIMC spotlight shines on their studio project Yo Soy de Tecalitlán (released February 7, 2025), alongside notable live/compilation sets like Corridos de Caballos (2022) and 20 Éxitos (circa 2008 with a 2021 reissue). This combination of studio work and live performance underpins the group’s ongoing influence in the mariachi world.
Upcoming 2025 tour stops include Tucson (April 25, 2025, Linda Ronstadt Music Hall), Guadalajara (Festival Cultural de Mayo, May 24, 2025, Teatro Degollado), Los Angeles (Hollywood Bowl, June 28, 2025), and Zapopan (PALCCO, September 13, 2025). For fans in the Southwest and beyond, this is a chance to experience authentic mariachi virtuosity up close.
