Mariachi Los Camperos

Two-Time Grammy award winner, Mariachi Los Camperos was founded in 1961 by Natividad “Nati” Cano. The Mariachi “giant” and visionary leader played a fundamental role in the development of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of musicians. He was the first to take the mariachi performances out of customary locations such as cantinas and into concert halls where celebrities performed.
