Our Story

Mariachi Sol America was founded with a clear mission: to keep the heart of traditional mariachi alive while connecting with today’s audiences across Northern California. Rooted in Jalisco, Mexico — the birthplace of mariachi — and raised in the diverse rhythms of the Bay Area, our group blends classic mariachi traditions with the energy of our local communities.

From intimate backyard gatherings to large weddings and cultural festivals, we perform with corazón, delivering music filled with precision, passion, and presence. Our goal is simple: to make every performance a memory that lasts a lifetime.

From Jalisco to the Bay Area

Meet the Band

Jalisco to the Bay Area

Our journey began in the vibrant plazas of Jalisco, where mariachi is more than music — it’s culture, family, and pride. Today, based in Concord, California, we carry that same spirit to every corner of the Bay Area and beyond. From San Francisco and Oakland to San Jose, Napa, and Sacramento, we bring authentic mariachi to weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, corporate events, and community celebrations.

Every performance is an opportunity to honor our heritage while sharing it with new generations across Northern California.

Our Style

Festive Occasions

Every performance is tailored to the moment. At weddings, our music is soft and soulful; for birthdays and family gatherings, it’s lively and joyful; and in solemn tributes, it carries deep respect and emotion. At festivals and public events, we bring powerful, vibrant energy that connects with audiences of all ages.

Our repertoire spans classics like El Rey, La Negra, and Cielito Lindo, along with romantic boleros, traditional sones, and danceable cumbias. With polished trajes, rich harmonies, and a warm stage presence, Mariachi Sol America delivers performances that are both timeless and uniquely ours.

Why We Do It

Bringing People Together

At its core, mariachi is about connection. It’s the joy of a surprise serenata, the pride of hearing your culture represented, the goosebumps from a powerful violin solo. We believe music should be personal, emotional, and full of heart.

Every performance is more than entertainment — it’s a celebration of culture, family, and tradition. For us, mariachi is not just what we do, it’s who we are. And with every note, every song, and every smile, Mariachi Sol America is here to bring people together across the Bay Area.
