The woman card gets played hard at this joyful salute to female mariachis at the Ford Amphitheatre. Three of the world's greatest all-girl bands -- Guadalajara's Mariachi Femenil Nuevo Tecalitlán, New York City's Flor de Toloache and L.A.'s own Las Colibri -- come together for a tribute to late mariachi pionera Laura Garciacano-Sobrino. Las Colibri ("The Hummingbirds") take a more contemporary approach to ranchera music -- aside from their unique interpretation of traditional sones and huapangos, you'll also recognize the modern influence of jazz, rock, oldies and R&B through their innovative arrangements. Named after the magical Toloache flower that's been used in Mexico for centuries as the main ingredient in a legendary love potion, the Mariachi Flor de Toloache have been bringing their spellbinding show to top stages across Mexico, Spain and the U.S. since forming in 2008. The infectious melodies, tight harmonies and stellar musicianship of these three bands are sure to shine under the stars at this special concert event, where you can expect to see special-guest dancers and young performers as well.

Event Description:

The Ford is an outdoor venue, and it can get cold at night. Please plan accordingly. Additionally, it is a county park, so parking lots and the venue in general are located in hilly terrain. Comfortable shoes are recommended.

You are welcome to bring food and drink (beer and wine only) and picnic on our plaza or in your seats. Picnic tables are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please visit the Ford Amphitheatre websites for more info on directions, theater policies, parking and special services and food and dining.
