Veronica Robles Female Mariachi

Day of the Dead

Presented in association with Ágora Cultural Architects

Through her performances, participatory workshops, community festivals at her East Boston cultural center, and even an official elote cart, Veronica Robles never misses a chance to share the beauty and diversity of Latin American cultures with Bostonians from all backgrounds.  

This year, the Mexico City-born singer and vihuela (a five-stringed mariachi instrument) player returns to Neighborhood Arts to celebrate Day of the Dead. Traditional Mexican songs pair with newer selections that reflect on the spirit of the holiday. Veronica performs with her groundbreaking all-female mariachi band, founded in 2018, and young artists learning Mexican folkloric dance traditions at Veronica Robles Cultural Center.  

When she sings and performs with her mariachi, and especially when she highlights the young dancers taking classes in traditional folkloric dance, Veronica Robles’ talent, personal warmth, and love for Mexican traditions are unmistakable. Don’t miss a Celebrity Series audience favorite, and get ready to sing along!
