Mariachi San Patricio, Ireland’s only full Mariachi band, play Mariachi classics such as La Negra, Cielito Lindo and the Mexican Hat Dance.
They play tunes to dance wildly to and singer, Johnny Arias has the classic, powerful Mariachi tone to interpret songs of love, loss and patriotism.
They’ve had the honour to perform with Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains and John Sheahan of The Dubliners.
Like Mariachi itself, the musicians come from folk, orchestral and popular music backgrounds and band members hail from Mexico, Ireland, the Basque country, Venezuela and Spain.
