Rodriguez<\/span>, MARIACHI <span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span> founder and longtime concert producer. The show&#8217;s company of 25 artists will perform on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Sunday, October 9<\/span>, at Teatro Am\u00e9rica, a historic theater built in the 1940s that has hosted international top talent over the years. <\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160321\/346624\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160321\/346624<\/a><br \/>Logo &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160321\/346625LOGO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20160321\/346625LOGO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My driving passion has always been to return to <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> to entertain my people, to do what I do best,&#8221; says Rodriguez. &#8220;I&#8217;m taking a version of what we&#8217;ve been presenting at the Hollywood Bowl for 27 years. Our sole purpose is to entertain the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> in a unique cultural exchange, uniting the heritage of three countries. We are creating a labor of love, celebrating music and the spirit of humanity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the historic performance, MARIACHI <span class=\"xn-location\">USA&#8217;s<\/span> musicians, singers and dancers will hold workshops with local performers and students.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a space for mariachi music on a world stage has been Rodriguez&#8217;s passion since 1990. She founded MARIACHI <span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span> believing &#8220;a world-class music deserves a world-class stage.&#8221; She was convinced more people would love mariachi when they experienced it in a proper forum. Securing that space for mariachi took hard work, grit, and an unshakable belief in the music. MARIACHI <span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span> has since made history: when it sold out its first year, when it became the second longest running show to play at the Hollywood Bowl, and for being the Bowl&#8217;s only annual Latino-themed event. The five-hour festival features mariachi bands from the U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>, traditional folklorico dances and spectacular fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I consider myself a guardian of this magnificent musical legacy,&#8221; emphasizes Rodriguez. That legacy extends to <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span>, her native country. Earlier generations of Cubans enjoyed the music of Mexican artists such as <span class=\"xn-person\">Jose Alfredo Jimenez<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Jorge Negrete<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Pedro Infante<\/span>, who visited in the 1940s and 50s. Recently mariachi has experienced resurgence in <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> and is a popular choice for celebrations and even quincea\u00f1eras. <\/p>\n<p>For tour travel and show information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/mariachiusa.com\/cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/mariachiusa.com\/cuba\/<\/a><span\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p \/>\n<p \/>\n<p \/>\n<p \/>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">STUDIO CITY, California<\/span> and LA HABANA, <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 22, 2016<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; MARIACHI <span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span>, the premier mariachi music festival in the U.S., is headed to <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> for a historic performance this Fall.
