Schedule of Events:

7:00 pm: Jarabe Mexicano

Starts at $35

Jarabe Mexicano captures the nostalgic spirit of their border roots with their brand of "Bordeno-Soul," which honors the musical tastes and cultural influences of its members. Jarabe, which translates to 'concoction,' highlights the eclectic mix of genres they perform ranging from Mexican folk, rock and roll, norteño/Tex-Mex to Latin rock, trio romántico, and popular cumbia. Their traditional mariachi string instruments and norteño-inspired drums complement dramatic vocals in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, and shows how this multi-generational ensemble embraces change while still honoring the past.

As educators, cultural ambassadors and advocates for the arts, the Vilar Performing Arts Center raves that Jarabe Mexicano is "thought-provoking, heartfelt, and engaging." Both their "Fiesta En Familia" concerts and educational outreach program "Día de los Muertos: A Celebration of Life" aim to create a deeper and more inclusive sense of family and community, with a special commitment to underserved groups. Jarabe has also shared the stage with Louie Perez of Los Lobos and opened for internationally renowned acts Gaby Moreno and La Santa Cecilia.
