The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center’s 8th Annual Noche de Romance, San Antonio’s premier mariachi event, will feature the award-winning Mariachi Azteca de América performing an array of traditional Mexican love songs, boleros, baladas, and rancheras. Led by Guadalupe traditional music program director Gino Rivera, Mariachi Azteca de America’s versatile ensemble of musicians delivers dynamic performances of classic songs by Mexican musical luminaries such as Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Juan Gabriel, and Agustin Lara.
This year, concertgoers will be treated with special guests Mateo Lopez, who was recently featured on The Kelly Clarkson show, Rhonda García, a Texas favorite and educator of SAISD, and Jonathan Palomar, who toured with Luis Miguel and is now the master vocal instructor with Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. Noche de Romance is presented by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture. This annual performance supports the continued expansion and development of Guadalupe’s Traditional Music Academy and Youth Mariachi Ensemble.
