ariachi Imperial de Lupita proved to be the best Mariachi ensemble I have ever heard and seen. This troupe of gifted musicians and singers is fronted by the beautiful and classy, Lupita, a true singing sensation. Lupita delivers the rancheras with lots of heart, delivering hurt-songs like Por Un Amor and Los Laureles with the passion and the artistry of a performer who lives for her music. Another of my favorites by Lupita is the Rocio Durcal song penned by Juan Gabriel, Amor Eterno Mariachi Imperials range of music was also surprising, as they delivered romantic classics, like Somos Novios (Its Impossible) and Sabor A Mi sung by trumpet player and singer/songwriter Jose Rosario. The musicianship was palpable, as the band went from a great version of Guantanamera to the classic mariachi anthem Son De La Negra to a beautiful rendition of And I Love You So to return with a fiey paso doble from Spain, Novillero. They played all my favorites, from Rancho Grande (which had us all singing along) to Cielito Lindo, to my dads all time favorite, Volver Volver. What a great night we had! So for that, and to recognize the impressive Mariachi Imperial de Lupita, cheers!
Pros: Very classy and professional family group. Cleancut and excellent musicians.
