Mariachi Garibaldi:

Mariachi Garibaldi is the performing ensemble from Southwestern College, the first school in the world to offer a college degree in mariachi music. Students study mariachi performance, music theory, instrumental and vocal technique, mariachi history, as well as general education requirements. Former students have moved on to receive Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music, perform mariachi professionally, and they are beginning to fill the great need for mariachi teachers that exists across the US today. Mariachi Garibaldi has performed as far afield as Mexico, Russia, France and China.
