Fireworks and many female groups are among the regular features of the festival, which is the longest-running annual event at the Hollywood Bowl.
It’s been decades since promoter Rodri J. Rodríguez first brought a mariachi festival to the Hollywood Bowl, and she’s heard the same platitudes ever since.
“You start high and then you end up as high as fireworks at the end,” Rodriguez said in a phone interview.“I’m not a chatty Cathy. For me it’s entertaining people, they paid for the music. That record player spins, and they come down onstage and get the applause, and now we’re on to the next group.” “Seventy percent of our audience is made up of women,” she added. “It’s a ladies’ night. And I dare say not because of tight pants onstage, nothing to do with it! It’s something they love to do with their besties, their moms, tías, comadres. They have party buses. And you look around the audience, you can see it, it’s like a women’s convention.”
“You’re seeing these mariachi maestros, 14 and 16 musicians, you don’t go to a restaurant and see that many. You probably see maybe six or 10. But you see them in that outfit, those beautiful charro suits and even though you’re not Mexican you feel there in a moment of pride and awe.”
