Our love for music has grown every day — and now, we are a touring band, exploring the sounds of many different styles of music including of course Mexican folk.\u201d
\n\u201cWe are excited to join forces with the historic Count Basie Theatre in this authentic celebration of Mexican culture in the city of\u00a0Red Bank and we are looking forward to meeting many new friends there.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cCalpulli and the Count Basie Theatre have been partners now for a few years,\u201d said Juan Castro, Managing Director, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company<\/strong>. \u201cI can say that without a doubt that the leaders at the Count Basie Theatre are committed to their community, which is a value we share. Their year-long work to have the Mexican and Hispanic community in general represented in their programming both on stage and through education attests to their commitment.\u201d<\/p>\nTHE ARTISTS<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nFlor de Toloache<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n![\"Flor](\"https:\/\/thebasie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Flor-de-Toloache.jpg\")

Latin Grammy nominees Mariachi Flor de Toloache<\/strong> are New York\u2019s first and only all\u00ad-woman Mariachi group. Founded in 2008, Mariachi Flor de Toloache is led by founders Mireya I. Ramos & Shae Fiol. Reminiscent of the early days of mariachi, the group started as a trio, accompanied by harp, violin and vihuela \u2013 the guitar-shaped, double-stringed instrument most often associated with mariachi music. Today, Mariachi Flor De Toloache performs as a full ensemble, with members hailing from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States. This diversity defines their unique flavor and sound: a cultural bouquet that\u2019s an edgy, versatile and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. Mariachi Flor de Toloache coalesce like a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences not unlike the legendary Toloache flower, used to this day in Mexico as a love potion. While working to preserve centuries-old traditions of Mariachi, their m\u00e9lange of the traditional and the modern pushes the boundaries of the genre and brings Mariachi music to new audiences.<\/p>\nMariachi Flor De Toloache\u2019s critically acclaimed self-titled debut album received a Latin Grammy nomination for \u201cBest Ranchero\/Mariachi Album\u201d in 2015. The group is currently ready to go on tour in support of their new record Las Caras Lindas<\/em>, released by Daptone distributed, New York City-based Chulo Records.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\nVillalobos Brothers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThe Villalobos Brothers (Ernesto, Alberto and Luis) use their violins and voices to redefine contemporary Mexican music. Their original compositions masterfully blend elements of jazz, rock, classical and Mexican folk to deliver a powerful message of love, brotherhood and social justice. Artistic Director and guitarist Humberto Flores, drummer Rosa Avila and bassist Leo Sherman complete the line-up.<\/p>\n
The Villalobos Brothers were born and raised in Xalapa, Mexico. They spent their childhood learning classical violin from Henryk Szeryng\u2019s disciple Carlos Marrufo and listening to their grandmother Cristina V\u00e1squez sing traditional songs accompanying herself on the guitar and the accordion. In addition to the violin they soon learned to sing and play other instruments, including piano and guitar.<\/p>\n
Their work has been recognized by numerous awards, including a proclamation from the City of New York, the Independent Music Awards\u2019 \u201cVox Populi\u201d award, and were crowned the \u201cUltimate Winners\u201d in The Greene Space\u2019s Battle of the Boroughs competition. Today, the Villalobos Brothers continue to collaborate with legendary musicians, including Grammy winners Arturo O\u2019Farrill, Antonio Sanchez, Eduardo Magallanes, Dan Zanes and many others.<\/p>\n
