Campanas de America (The Kennedy Center)

Campanas de America

Characterizing the music of Campanas de America as simply mariachi does not describe the entire musical spectrum produced by this group of talented musicians. What makes this American musical ensemble so distinct is its ability to combine traditional Mexican mariachi music with contemporary folk and country influences. Percussion instruments have long been incorporated into the mariachi sound. However, Campanas is the first to add a full set of drums to the mix. The introduction of this single innovation gives Campanas unmatched versatility and adds greatly to their audience appeal.
