FIESTA FOLKLORICO

Featuring Los Caporales

 

 

Founded in 1993, Los Caporales has become one of the most popular groups in San Antonio and the surrounding area.  This Grammy-nominated group of musicians has performed with performers, such as Flaco Jimenez and Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi Sol de Mexico. 

 

While the group’s main goal is to preserve the rich, vibrant and traditional mariachi style and folkloric dance, they have pushed the limits of traditional mariachi to develop Fiesta Folklorico.

 

Fiesta Folklorico is a celebration of the cultural music and dance of Latin American, Spain and Portugal.  Featuring 8 dancers and 8 musicians, Fiesta Folklorico is a presentation filled with folkloric and flamenco dance, intertwined with strong musical presentation.  Throughout this visual journey, unique musical styles and interpretation of familiar tunes accent the one-of-a kind performance.

 

For seven seasons, Fiesta Folklorico has been seen by thousands of guests at Fiesta Texas, the entertainment award-winning theme park in San Antonio.  Other performance venues have included the Aladdin and Mirage Hotels in Las Vegas, America West Arena in Phoenix, and the Santa Barbara Bowl.

 

Fiesta Folklorico was honored as one of the first Latin acts to perform at the Ordway Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota.
