A family affair, the three magnetic brothers from Veracruz, Mexico, share their ancestry with audiences worldwide and now return to The Soraya after their appearance in the 2021 postpandemic Re-Opening Night. Beyond being tradition-bearers, they are inventive and virtuosic performers who have collaborated with artists including Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, and many symphony orchestras. Sharing the stage will be Edna Vazquez, a powerhouse vocalist who grew up in the birthplace of mariachi music, Jalisco, Mexico. Since moving to the U.S., Vazquez has become a versatile artist often appearing at major venues with her adopted ensemble, Pink Martini.
