Celebrate the holidays with the heartwarming sounds of Mariachi Herencia de México!

In this special Christmas edition of their world tour, La Nueva Generación, the 2x Latin Grammy-nominated ensemble delivers a holiday concert that honors both the magic of Christmas and the cultural vibrancy of Mexico. Experience an unforgettable night as they blend beloved holiday classics with mariachi traditions.

The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. The band has issued six chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent, paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians. Nuestra Herencia, their 2017 debut album, topped the Latin streaming charts and earned the band their first Latin Grammy nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía and the two-volume series, Esencia (2019) and Esencia, Vol. 2 (2020), charted at the top of all major streaming platforms and industry charts. In 2022, Herederos appeared as the band was performing a wildly successful North American tour. Herederos received a 2023 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. In 2025, Mariachi Herencia de México released their most ambitious project yet, the groundbreaking album Viva La Música, with five hit singles (“Inolvidable,” “Preciosa,” “La Murga,” “Perdón” and “Caminaré”) that have amassed millions of views and streams worldwide. The young, virtuosic band is comprised of 14 musicians representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.

“Mariachi Herencia de México brings mariachi music to the charts, while staying true to their Mexican roots.” – Billboard

“Mariachi Herencia de México takes mariachi music to whole new heights.” – The Chicago Sun-Times
