Quotes & Highlights
- "One of the most creative--yet still traditionalist--figures in modern mariachi." --Los Angeles Times
Description
There is no music more widely evocative of Mexican identity than that of the ensemble known as mariachi. Identified in the 19th century as the regional style of the state of Jalisco, mariachi gained widespread attention when it was featured by the movie industry in the 1930s and '40s, and is now viewed by many as the national music of Mexico. Multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Natividad Cano was born in 1933 into a family of jornaleros (day laborers) who lived near Guadalajara. Looking back, Cano says: "Because we were all jornaleros, music was a necessity. It was a means to gain more money than simply working the soil." In 1960 Cano moved to Los Angeles, where he joined Mariachi Aguila, which he later renamed "Los Camperos" (The Countrymen). After spending several years touring throughout the United States, Nati and six original members of Los Camperos opened La Fonda restaurant in Los Angeles in 1967, where they have performed five nights a week ever since. La Fonda soon gained a reputation as an important center of Mexican culture in L.A. On a national level, Cano's work with Linda Rondstadt has brought the group well-deserved recognition in the wider world of popular music, leading to an international touring schedule. A masterful showman and a dedicated teacher, Nati Cano was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1990 for his contributions to the traditional art of mariachi.
About the Ticket Supplier: UCLA Live
Active, intrepid and ever-evolving, UCLA Live is powered by the energy, attitude and imagination of today's most extraordinary artists.
Perched on the Western edge of North America in Los Angeles, a city where an exciting new modernity is being forged, UCLA Live is one of the most unique and significant presenters and producers of performing arts in the country. At the vanguard of dance, music, spoken word, and experimental theater, the program is unrivaled in its breadth and uncommon mix of genresâe"presenting a kaleidoscope of more than 200 performances each year to more than 150,000 audience members. UCLA Live's programs occur in a number of venues on UCLA's campus and beyond, including the historic Royce Hall, renowned for its acoustic excellence and tremendous sightlines.
Like the city that feeds it, UCLA Live promotes an aesthetic of fusion and diversityâe"in which concert hall divas, world-class chamber orchestras and hip-hop dancers share the seasonâe"and sometimes the stageâe"with post-modern dancers, world music superstars, contemporary storytellers, and rock 'n' roll mavericks. The local and the global, the ancient and the modern form symbiotic relationships, in which the inner-city infuses Western European traditions with modern soul; and the spirit of the avant-garde radiates from dark stages to the serpentine freeways, suburban byways, and breezy waters of the Pacific.
An incubator of new ideas, UCLA Live is dedicated to radical, genre-bending collaborations and the development of new work. At the crux of this mission is the annual Artist in Residence initiative, featuring internationally-acclaimed artists whose works are characterized by an unrelenting curiosity and dazzling originality. Inaugurated in 2001 by pop music icon Elvis Costello, followed by the virtuosic Kronos Quartet in the 2002-03 season, and the wildly eclectic producer Hal Willner in 2003-04, this yearlong program deepens UCLA Live's commitment to the creative process by nurturing the development of new works and collaborative endeavors.
A presenter of the same stature as Brooklyn Academy of Music and Lincoln Center, and the country's largest and most outstanding university-based performing arts presenter, UCLA Live has commissioned major works by Laurie Anderson, Pina Bausch, Philip Glass, Bill T. Jones, Kronos Quartet, Miami City Ballet, and Robert Wilson, among many others.
