Welcome to WordPress.com. I am one of the parents in the community mariachi group, Mariachi Tesoro de Tucson. I started this page in preparation for Tesoro’s participation in the 2009 Tucson International Mariachi Conference. If you’ve seen Tesoro on YouTube or at the Showcase, or if you’ve invited them to play for you and want to comment on our blog, please be our guest. We are starting a new Tesoro Tucson channel on YouTube; please join us! Thank you. Read about Tesoro de Tucson…
Our group started in 2006 with 10 youth and their families. We now have 14 members anda few apprentices and their families. The musicians have been playing together since kindergarten or first grade. They have all had the benefit of having Dr. Alfredo Valenzuela as their first mariachi teacher. Last night, Dr. Valenzuela was inducted into the Mariachi Hall of Fame, and is greatly respected as the father of all young mariachis in Tucson. Dr. and Sra. Valenzuela’s 3 children are all teachers. Tesoro musicians have had the tutelage of all three. Dr. and Sra. Valenzuela are big fans and supporters of our group as we are of their son, Jaime Valenzuela, our Music Director. more about Dr.Valenzuela…
Tesoro performs at weddings, parties, professional conferences, reunions, parties, and other events. They sometimes perform at local restaurants. They attend every year the Tucson International Mariachi Conference, and won first place in the San Antonio International Mariachi Competition in 2007, where they opened for Mariachi Vargas (the world’s best mariachis!!) along with the winners in other categories. Tesoro musicians are excited about playing in the 2009 TIMC showcase 4.23.09. Please visit our home website!
Please contact Anna at (520) 982-0367 if you want to book an event.
