MARIACHI USA has been playing the iconic Hollywood Bowl to sold out audiences since 1990 and celebrates its 36th at the Bowl on June 28, longest running show at the Bowl.
MARIACHI USA continues to be a champion for mariachi music, tradition, and cultural pride since its inception in 1990. This first year at The Rady Shell, home of the San Diego symphony, will feature a phenomenal roster all ready to deliver performances that resonate with musical excellence. The 2025 line-up features some of the most acclaimed mariachi bands in the world Mariachi Divas, Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan and Mariachi Campanas de America.
These groups represent the pinnacle of mariachi music, each bringing their unique style to the stage for an evening that promises to be an unforgettable night of puro mariachi, showered with the colorful and dynamic Mi Tierra Ballet Folklorico, continuing MARIACHI USA's legacy of showcasing the best.
Mariachi Divas, a groundbreaking all-female ensemble known for their innovative approach to mariachi music is a three-time GRAMMY Award-winning 13 times nominated trailblazer in the mariachi genre, captivating audiences with their exceptional talent and passion for music. Their performance is anticipated to be a highlight of the evening, celebrating a quarter-century of musical excellence and influence. Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan from Guadalajara, Jalisco has a deeply rooted Mariachi legacy in this music genre and currently considered Mexico's best. Mariachi Campanas de America from San Atonio, Texas was founded by Belle Ortiz, the educator that launched Mariachi education in the US and creator of the first US Mariachi festival 50 years ago. Campanas has performed with the San Antonio Symphony, Houston Symphony, several White House performances, at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and 12 times at MARIACH USA at the Hollywood Bowl.

"In reflecting on the remarkable journey of MARIACHI USA over the last 36 years, I am reminded of why I named the festival 'MARIACHI USA; as an homage to mariachi groups living and working as mariachis in the USA. Most of our artists learned to speak Spanish by singing mariachi since they only spoke English!" said Rodri J. Rodriguez, Founder and producer of MARIACHI USA.
The MARIACHI USA festival invites fans and newcomers alike to experience the magic of mariachi music under the stars and by the bay at The Rady Shell.

Laufey Surprised Fans with a Pop-Up Show at the Guggenheim Museum
Laufey has graced the stages of iconic cultural landmarks around the world, from the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. to the Sydney Opera House in Australia, to the Harpa Concert Hall in her home country, Iceland. On Wednesday afternoon, she added an unexpected venue to that list: The Guggenheim. The singer hosted a pop-up show on the ground floor of the spiral-shaped museum in New York, in partnership with Spotify, less than two weeks before the August 22 release of her new album, A Matter of Time. Wearing a black dress and a matching bow in her hair, she performed some of her beloved hits, like 'From the Start' and 'Falling Behind'; recent singles like 'Silver Lining'; a jazz arrangement of 'Tough Luck'; and a few unreleased songs from her new album, including the opening track 'Clockwork' and the snarky 'Mr. Eclectic.' It was her first time performing both songs live. The iconic museum was the perfect match for Laufey's jazz- and classical-inspired repertoire. 'I'm so excited to be here at the Guggenheim, I feel like I used to walk one giant hall and dream about a rom-com,' Laufey told the crowd at the beginning of her 10-song set. Devout Laufey fans ('a.k.a. Lauvers') gathered in the atrium to watch the singer up-close, while unknowing tourists, toting backpacks and baseball caps, leaned over the gallery railings to take in the surprise performance. On a small stage on the ground floor, Laufey was accompanied by a bassist, a string quartet, pianist, and drummer, while she sang at the mic with her signature red guitar. She also took her turn at the piano for her latest single, 'Snow White.' Before her final song, she gave the audience a little more detail about A Matter of Time, which follows her 2023 record, Bewitched. 'I really, really poured my heart into this album,' she said. 'It's definitely a little eclectic, but it feels like every single part of me is in it. My thesis for this album is, really, that we have a lot of emotions and a lot of layers within us. And we should feel confident to show the world every single part of ourselves. You guys are here for every single part of me just as I am here for every single part of you.' Speaking to ELLE earlier this year, Laufey teased what to expect on the new LP. 'With this album, I've experienced a lot more life. I think we all present a very pretty version of ourselves to the world. This starts there, and then starts to dig in and show the darker thoughts and things that are within a woman,' she said. 'It's about this constant fight with keeping the outside pretty and the inside organized. 'As I've grown into this success, I really see how much of a role model I am for people, young women especially,' she added, 'and I never want to gaslight any young woman into thinking that everything is just so perfect.'

Ángela Aguilar, regional Mexican royalty, plots her next power move
Ángela Aguilar may be an elegant interpreter of música Mexicana, a genre that her family has dominated for generations. Yet when I sit across from the 21-year-old singer at a dining hall on Olvera Street, she exudes a commanding diva spirit that is all her own. It is a fierceness that surfaces most prominently when the conversation turns to the business of music, her family's legacy and her recent marriage to young Mexican singer-songwriter Christian Nodal. When it comes to her latest album, 'Nadie Se Va Como Llegó,' Aguilar's 12-song set of romantic ballads, it's clear the Latin Grammy-nominated singer is delving into music rooted in heartache — but she insists that the latest songs, colored by the agony of unrequited love, have nothing to do with her personal life. 'I'm not singing to anybody, I'm not answering to anybody,' declares Aguilar. 'I speak through music, but I'm not sending messages to anyone except to let people know of my love of Mexican culture.' That pride for heritage also comes from being part of a prominent musical dynasty. With conductor Gustavo Dudamel at the helm, she will perform two nights at the Hollywood Bowl on Aug. 15 and 16 with her famous family, including her hitmaker father Pepe and her brother Emiliano. Her late grandparents, Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre, were icons in both music and films; her mother, Aneliz Alvarez-Alcala, the matriarch of the family, oversees the family's Machin Records. Alvarez-Alcala also guides her famous daughter as a manager. It's a role that, beyond the recording sessions, performances and red carpet appearances, took a challenging turn in recent years as Aguilar was bombarded with criticism online about her marriage, her vocal style — and just about everything else in between. 'Turmoil,' Alvarez-Alcala says, was at the epicenter. 'People have been very opinionated about her personal relationships and it's been very hard for her. Our family has always been very loved by the public. Those criticisms were so undeserved and hard. The way I see it, it made her stronger and more appreciative of the good things, moments and the people who love her.' For Aguilar's part, growing up in music was the norm, and her spotlight has expanded with each project. Childhood showcases with family led to a mesmerizing performance of 'La Llorona' at the 2018 Latin Grammys, when she was met with a standing ovation. It was a seminal moment that marked her place in music, beyond just any nepo baby or child entertainer. 'I deeply admire her artistry and the impact she's making in música Mexicana,' says Yvonne Drazan, vice president of Peer Music's Latin Division, West Coast. 'She represents a new generation of women reshaping the genre with talent, grace and vision.' Drazan cites the range of Aguilar's latest album, which she says 'felt like a modern-day 'Romances,' much like what Luis Miguel did, reintroducing timeless Latin standards to a new audience with a young and fresh approach.' Before recording her latest album, which she executive produced, Aguilar took time away from the family business to cope with the overexposure in the tabloids following her wedding to Nodal. In fact, it was her husband, she says, who encouraged her to 'take time to enjoy life.' The newlyweds traveled to Los Cabos, spent time alone and sang to each other in their own space for inspiration — even if during a typical grocery store outing, as fans filmed their every move. The sabbatical revived her passion for music — and it was support from family and friends that helped Aguilar find her footing once more. The great salsa singer Marc Anthony, who was in attendance at the Aguilar-Nodal wedding in the summer of 2024, was the reason that the Pablo Preciado-penned power ballad, 'No Quiero Hablar,' made it on the new album. 'I've known Marc since I was 5 years old, so I'm super close to him,' says Aguilar, who concedes that she doesn't often share her music with others. 'One night we were having a party at Marc's house, having so much fun and I got the courage to share with him some music. Two weeks later, I got a message about the song, and I [was] thinking he wrote me in error.' The result is a lovelorn duet that is punctuated by the swooning harmonies of Anthony and Aguilar. 'He worked on the song, changed the arrangement and when I heard his voice on it … well, it [was] ridiculous,' she says. When it comes to being part of her family's independent label, Aguilar says it's not easy — in many ways not being on a major label goes against the current of the music industry, and that alone can make business difficult. In fact, she adds, her father has been on a mission to own masters of every one of his albums. 'My dad has been fighting,' she says. 'He's the owner of 27 masters, but he has more albums than that. And it's similar for my husband — he doesn't have one master in his career, and he's one of the top-selling artists in Mexico.' Aguilar recalls having a revealing conversation over dinner with an industry manager in regional Mexican music. 'It's hard to be around you guys and hear your conversations because for me,' he told her, 'if I give my artist a watch, a car, they'll shut up.' Aguilar thinks often of young, inexperienced artists who didn't have the privilege of being in a family of savvy entertainers — those who run the biggest risk of getting cheated out of royalties. It is why she's plotting a foundation that provides education and support to burgeoning artists, so they don't get exploited. 'When that person told me how he works with his artists, I was like 'S—, this is crazy,'' she says. As she builds on her leading and producing roles in music, Aguilar can always count on her own creative edge and her family's legacy. 'Trees with roots don't blow away,' she says as the interview comes to an end. Hovering nearby is an entourage of about half a dozen people, including a makeup artist who's primed to make Aguilar's next touch-up. 'Those roots are embedded within me,' Aguilar adds, 'and that is what keeps me grounded, centered and real.'
