Flor de Toloache

Flor de Toloache joins us in Frenchtown to perform a concert at 7:30 PM on Saturday, April 19 and to conduct a workshop taking attendees behind their rousing mariachi music on Sunday, April 20.

Experience the enchanting sounds of Flor de Toloache, the Latin GRAMMY Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated all-female mariachi band that is breaking boundaries with their innovative blend of traditional and contemporary Latin American music. Founded in 2008 by Mireya I. Ramos and Shae Fiol, Flor de Toloache is NYC’s first and only all-women mariachi band. The members hail from Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Nicaragua, and the United States, bringing a rich tapestry of cultural influences to their music. Like the legendary love potion from the Toloache flower, Flor de Toloache casts a spell with their powerful vocals and captivating stage presence.

Flor de Toloache has performed internationally, from Mexico to Japan, and toured extensively across the US, Europe, and Latin America. Their groundbreaking approach has earned them acclaim, with headlines such as “The new kings of mariachi are all women” (HuffPost) and “alt-mariachi” (Rolling Stone).

Join us for an intimate workshop on Sunday, April 20 to go behind the music and develop your own mariachi skills. With its unique trajectory and more than 15 years of touring and collaborating with some of the most exciting artists from John Legend, Alicia Keys, Miguel to Dan Auerbach, Lila Downs and Cafetacvba, members of Flor de Toloache will offer a unique experience by sharing their story, the way they've paved their own path to success, perform a few songs from their repertoire showing how they seamlessly blend all types of genres, and teach attendees one of their songs.

If you are 16 and older, play an instrument, and love learning new genres, this workshop is for you. Attendees should bring their own instrument.
