¡Que Vivan Las Mujeres! Enriching the medium as America's first all-female mariachi ensemble, MARIACHI REYNA DE LOS ANGELES brings sensitivity, beauty, warmth and vivacious spirit to this historic art form. In a musical landscape where songs are often written from male perspectives, Reyna has created its own history and blazed a trail for female mariachi musicians. Established in 1994, the group had a strong beginning thanks to the mentorship of Lola Bertran, La Reina de La Musica Ranchera. Maestro Jóse Hernàndez also fostered the development of the group. They have performed for some of the world's highest profile celebrities including Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack and Michelle Obama.
