With its driving energy and spirited fair, the son has held the essence of mariachi music for more than 150 years

Even today, the modern mariachi dips into the son repertoire to punctuate its performances, evoking boisterous yells and percussive zapateados from its listeners. In 'Sones de Mariachi', multi-Grammy-winning Mariachi Los Camperos makes its mark on the son legacy, powered by the group's lauded signature sound and leader Jesus "Chuy" Guzman's uplifting arrangements. This meticulously curated mix of popular and lesser- known sones rooted in the western Mexican heartland of mariachi tradition is played with the typical virtuosity, superb vocals, and rhythmic precision of one of the world's greatest mariachis. 

2-time GRAMMY winner, 4-time GRAMMY nominee
