Mariachi Divas presented by Concerts at the Square July 16, 2009

On July 16 step out of your car or get off the Metro Gold Line on your way home from work for one-of-a-kind free concerts at Heritage Square Museum. Join us as we present great musical acts, local food vendors and costumed docents in a venue that brings you out of the present and into Southern California’s past. No need to drive – take the Gold Line to the nearby Heritage Square station. Concerts are made possible thanks to the support of Supervisor Gloria Molina / LA County Arts Commission, the Recording Industries Music Performance Fund, and the Highland Park Neighborhood Council.

On July 16, MARIACHI DIVAS will be the headline act. Founded and directed by trumpet player Cindy Shea in 1999, the all-female MARIACHI DIVAS are making big waves on the national music scene. In 2009, the group won the American Grammy award for Regional Mexican Album for their latest CD, Canciones De Amor. MARIACHI DIVAS are a unique, multi-cultural ensemble imbued with the true flavor of Los Angeles and have been represented by women of Mexican, Cuban, Samoan, Argentinian, Colombian, Panamanian, Puerto Rican, Swiss, Japanese, Honduran, Peruvian, Tongan and Anglo descents. Cindy Shea states, "Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds."
