ABOUT US

Our History

Created in 1990, MARIACHI USA has become the premier mariachi music festival in the United States. Founded and created by Rodri J. Rodriguez, of Rodri Entertainment, the festival was created to give mariachi music a forum for artistic expression and a way to celebrate the rich musical traditions that so many have come to enjoy. Held at the Hollywood Bowl since its inception, the annual festival continues to thrill audiences of all generations.

Founded and created by artist/producer, Rodri J. Rodriguez, the festival pays homage to a cherished cultural tradition. Each note of mariachi music explodes with nostalgia and history.  MARIACHI USA will celebrate the rich tradition in which so many Mexicans and Mexican-Americans take pride, and which has secured its place as one of the most beloved music genres in world music.

In addition to the festival, Ms. Rodriguez founded the MARIACHI USA Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides mariachi music education to school-age kids throughout Los Angeles.
