Mariachi Flor De Toloache: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

January 8, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS Mariachi Flor de Toloache’s 2014 self-titled debut album earned a Latin Grammy nomination in the Best Ranchera category — quite an accomplishment, given that the category celebrates an incredibly long tradition of Mexican music. But it was no fluke: The group’s members come by their mariachi skills honestly and with endless practice, while still looking for ways to take chances. Still, the best way to introduce yourself to Mariachi Flor de Toloache is to see it live — something many have done as the band tours with The Arcs, both as members and as an opening act. It’s got top-notch musicianship, mariachi swagger for days, and a performance style that captures all the power and emotion you’d hope for. Mariachi Flor de Toloache is available now. iTunes: Amazon: Set List “Let Down“ “Dicen“ “Guadalajara“ Credits Producers: Bo
