Mariachi Cardenal

Welcome to the Mariachi Cardenal

Mariachi Cardenal began in the spring of 2023 when a group of talented and passionate students met to rehearse the music they loved, Mariachi. The UIW Mariachi presents four concerts each year, including two Noches de Mariachi, Merry-Achi Christmas, and Feria del Mariachi. The group proudly represents the Mexican and Mexican American cultures through music and attire and is open to any Incarnate Word student. Mariachi Cardenal performs traditional Mariachi styles such as the Son Jalisiense, Huapango, Jarocho, Bolero, and Ranchera, and they study music from artists such as Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Mariachi Cobre, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Juan Gabriel, Lola Beltran, Lucha Villa, and many others.
