About Mariachi Flor de Toloache
In 2008, Mariachi Flor de was founded in New York City by Mireya I. Ramos. Originally formed as a trio, the band has grown to seven members with all the essential and traditional instruments including: violin, trumpet, guitarron (bass), vihuela (five string guitar) and guitar.
Each member's cultural background adds even more diversity to their already unique sound, spanning the globe from Puerto Rico, to Mexico, Germany, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. Their goal of representing Mexican music and adding their own sound comes together incredibly naturally and seamlessly. They perform together like a band of sisters, with grace and vibrant beauty casting a spell over their audiences like the legendary and magical Toloache flower that is still being used in Mexico as a love potion.
Mariachi Flor de Toloache has performed for the Mexican Consulate, Queens Museum, El Museo del Barrio, and several high profile private events. They have also appeared in the St. Cecilia Mariachi Festival, annual Guadalupe festivities, and recently a five-week tour of Spain in the Summer of 2011. Performing in these exciting venues, the group continues to preserve the richness of the Mexican culture.
