Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan has been around since 1897. The band was led by mariachi music founder Gaspar Vargas, who started the band in Tecalitlan. Back then, the band comprised Vargas on guitar, Manuel Mendoza on wooden harp, and Lino Quintero and Reugio Hernandez on violins. This combination created a regional genre unique to Tecalitlan. Hence, their music was dubbed the Sonido Tecalitlan.
The band has reached various generations due to its incredible longevity. By 1931, Vargas passed the band’s leadership to his son Silvestre, who grew the band to eight members. Two years after Silvestre began his leadership, the band won a popular Mariachi contest in Guadalajara. Then Mexican President Lazaro Cardenas thoroughly enjoyed the band and hired them as the official mariachi of Mexico City Police. Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan then moved out of Tecalitlan for the first time to establish their rapport in Mexico City.
Today the band is now on its fifth generation and is currently led by Ruben Fuentes. Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan has been known to perform various regional and traditional Latin music, ranging from son jaliscience, cancion ranchera, bolero ranchero, polka, and more.
