will be the headline act. Founded and directed by trumpet player Cindy Shea in
1999, the all-female Mariachi Divas are making big waves on the national music
scene.
In 2009, the group won the American Grammy award for Regional Mexican
Album for their latest CD, Canciones De Amor. Mariachi Divas are a
unique, multi-cultural ensemble imbued with the true flavor of Los
Angeles and have been represented by women of Mexican, Cuban, Samoan,
Argentinian, Colombian, Panamanian, Puerto Rican, Swiss, Japanese,
Honduran, Peruvian, Tongan and Anglo descents. Cindy Shea states,
"Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds."
Mariachi Divas have appeared at Southern California venues such as
the Arrowhead Pond, Universal Amphitheater, Staples Center, the Greek
Theatre, the Santa Barbara Bowl, the House of Blues, the LA Forum for
the 2005 Premio La Gente live TV awards show and the Shrine
Auditorium for the 2006 Alma Awards. They have also accompanied
Grammy- winning artists such as Joan Sebastian, Jenny Rivera, Marco
Antonio Solis, Pablo Montero, Graciela Beltran and Paulina Rubio and
Mariachi Vargas.
