The conference returns downtown with concerts at the Tucson Music Hall, the Rialto and the MSA Annex.

That’s 40 years of trumpets, vihuelas, violins and guittaróns backing powerhouse vocalists through full-throttle mariachi staples, like “Guadalajara” and “Son de la Negra.”

Conference board member Adrian Perez said they had already planned to move back downtown in 2020, but had to scrap the in-person conference as the COVID-19 pandemic was just getting started. The big show, the conference’s Espectacular Concert, sports an impressive lineup. Mariachi Los Camperos, a conference staple from Los Angeles that continued on after the death of its founder and longtime leader Natividad “Nati” Cano in 2014, is on the bill.

“It is cool to get her early on in her career,” Perez said. “And she is a good role model for the female students at the conference; a young, female mariachi on the rise.” The conference is also bringing in Grammy-winning ensemble, La Santa Cecilia, out of Los Angeles. Named for the patron saint of music, La Santa Cecilia has a sound that moves effortlessly between modern pop, rock and folk, and traditional Latin musical styles ranging from bossa nova to boleros.
