Grammy-nominated Mariachi Los Camperos’ abundant accolades and performances on premier concert stages can easily obscure the fact that its leaders come from humble roots deep within a mariachi tradition. The group’s founder, Nati Cano, forged his own mariachi group in 1961 from his artistic vision and determination. Until his death in 2014, he challenged the attitudes that led formally trained musical peers to look down on his beloved rural and working-class music. In the words of Jesús “Chuy” Guzmán, his disciple and successor as Camperos leader, “He wanted to have a mariachi that would have dignity, that would have heart, that would have soul, and he made Los Camperos.”

“The Los Angeles-based Mariachi Los Camperos is considered by many to be the finest mariachi ensemble in the world. Undoubtedly, it has played a central role in the United States in raising both the artistic standards and the public perceptions of mariachi music.”
– The National Folk Festival

Los abundantes elogios y las presentaciones en escenarios de primer nivel del Mariachi Los Camperos, nominado al Grammy, pueden fácilmente eclipsar el hecho de que sus líderes provienen de orígenes humildes y están profundamente arraigados en la tradición mariachi. El fundador del grupo, Nati Cano, forjó su propio grupo de mariachi en 1961 con su visión artística y determinación. Hasta su fallecimiento en 2014, desafió las actitudes que llevaban a sus colegas músicos con formación académica a menospreciar su amada música rural y de clase trabajadora. En palabras de Jesús “Chuy” Guzmán, su discípulo y sucesor como líder de los Camperos: “Quería un mariachi con dignidad, corazón y alma, y creó a Los Camperos”.

“El Mariachi Los Camperos, con sede en Los Ángeles, es considerado por muchos como el mejor conjunto de mariachi del mundo. Sin duda, ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en Estados Unidos al elevar tanto el nivel artístico como la percepción pública de la música mariachi”.
