Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar

Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar has enchanted audiences with their dynamic musicianship and lively stage presence for over 30 years. Founded in 1994 by Jaime Cuéllar, Mariachi Garibaldi's commitment to providing a quality representation of the mariachi genre has propelled them into becoming one of Los Angeles' – even California’s – most recognized mariachis. Under the direction of Jimmy “El Pollo” Cuéllar, son of Jaime Cuéllar, Mariachi Garibaldi is considered one of the leading mariachi ensembles regularly called upon to share the stage with some of Mexico's most beloved performers, such as The Aguilar Family: Pepe, Angela and Leonardo, Juan Gabriel, Alejandro Fernandez, Pedro Fernandez, Espinoza Paz, Paquita del Barrio, Aida Cuevas, Ana Barbara, Graciela Beltran, Maria Elena Beltran, Yolanda del Rio, Mercedes Castro, Beatriz Adriana, Empress Of, and Armenian pop star Lilit Hovhannisyan. Most recently, Mariachi Garibaldi were featured on Camila Cabello's Tiny Desk concert, performing “La Buena Vida,” truly displaying that mariachi music transcends across all platforms. 

Their elevated musicianship has also opened invitations to perform on prestigious stages to sold out crowds, such as the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, Teatro Degollado, The Soraya, The John Anson Ford Amphitheater, Bakersfield Fox Theatre, The Chandler Center for the Arts, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Tempe Center for the Arts and The Gallo Center for the Arts. Mariachi Garibaldi has entertained thousands of people at sold-out venues. And it was a key element in the Mitu Network to recreate Disney's “Beauty and the Beast’s” “Tale As Old As Time” which catapulted their professional career and became a viral video with over 16 million views. Their ornate mariachi jacket became a commodity of trade when L.A. Dodger pitcher Joe Kelly wore it with honor at the White House.
