Jarabe Mexicano to Perform at El Camino College

Jarabe Mexicano will bring the nostalgic spirit of their border roots to Marsee Auditorium at 8 p.m. May 23 with a concert highlighting their brand of “Bordeño-Soul,” which honors the musical tastes and cultural influences of its members.

Jarabe, which translates to “concoction,” highlights the eclectic mix of genres they perform, ranging from Mexican folk, rock ’n’ roll, and Norteño/Tex-Mex to Latin rock, trio romántico, and popular cumbia. Their traditional mariachi string instruments and Norteño-inspired drums complement dramatic vocals in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, demonstrating how this multigenerational ensemble embraces change while still honoring the past.

As educators, cultural ambassadors, and advocates for the arts, Jarabe Mexicano’s performances have been hailed as “thought-provoking, heartfelt, and engaging.” Both their “Fiesta En Familia” concerts and educational outreach program “Día de los Muertos: A Celebration of Life” aim to create a deeper and more inclusive sense of family and community, with a special commitment to underserved groups. Jarabe has also shared the stage with Louie Pérez of Los Lobos and opened for internationally renowned acts Gaby Moreno and La Santa Cecilia. The band is currently working on their upcoming third album, while their EP “Semillas” and their self-titled album “Jarabe Mexicano''” can be found on all streaming digital platforms.
