The first time a full mariachi ensemble lands a chord in a room with plaster walls, something happens in your throat before you have decided how you feel about it. These are songs most people first heard at a wedding, or a funeral, or through a kitchen doorway on a Sunday. Hearing them played at this level changes the register entirely.
José Hernández built an ensemble that reaches for the symphony without ever letting go of the folk tradition it came from — the most awarded and most ambitious group in the genre, having shared stages with Selena, Vicente Fernández, and Luis Miguel. What comes back out is concert art made from music your family already knows by heart.
The gilded Balboa Theatre downtown is exactly the right room for it, all those horns ringing off the historic walls.
Dress up a little. Bring three generations. Watch your grandmother mouth every word without once looking at the stage.
