Jóse Hernàndez envisioned a mariachi ensemble to reflect
the passion of the rich cultural heritage he belonged. Activating
this vision would establish his expression to truly live as a link
to the mariachi medium. 
When he created Mariachi Sol de México®
in 1981, Jóse prepared the way to set the Latin musical
world afire with new original rhythms, sounds and ideas.
Jóse's fluent mastery of the mariachi medium is unmistakably
intense when it comes to expanding the boundaries of mariachi music.
He has recorded with the most respected and recognized names in the
industry, including:
- Jose
Feliciano

Nelson

Ronstadt

Pursuing compositions worthy of more appreciation for mariachi, Jóse
has enlightened audiences by producing rich, cultural performances
world over.
With an excellent knowledge of music history, Jóse tantalizes
his listeners with musical inspirations that ricochet from Leonard
Bernstein to Augustine Lara, and Glenn Miller to José Alfredo Jimenez.
Having performed for President Clinton in Washington D.C. for the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute again proved Mariachi Sol
de México®
an international institution. This honor exemplifies Mariachi Sol
de México®
as a traveling cultural icon that symbolizes eclectic musicianship
and communal cross-generation joy.
Jóse is also the musical director of the prestigious
Las Vegas International Mariachi Festival with the 1999 performance
at Mandalay Bay and the annual Viva El Mariachi concert held at the
renowned Universal Amphitheater.
Perhaps one of Jóse's gallant achievements, Maestro
Jóse Hernàndez has brought life to another passionate
mariachi provision—symphonic compositions for mariachi. Establishing
the Sol de México®
symphony orchestra has allowed scores of mariachi lovers to become
entranced by this full mariachi sound.
Jóse's versatile talents have been expressed in performance
from Puerto Rico to Hawaii, from Latin America to the most renowned
venues in the world.
The humble endeavor of Jóse Hernàndez is to remain the
voice and medium for mariachi;
to reflect the treasured cultural heritage
through the pages of mariachi;
to express his soulful
vision of mariachi without end;
—this
to Jóse, is the Passion of Mariachi.
