Mariachi in Chicago: Pilsen and Beyond

Pilsen is the soul of Chicago’s Mexican arts scene — home to the National Museum of Mexican Art and a community that has kept traditional music alive for decades. Little Village, just to the west, is one of the most economically active Latino commercial corridors in the country. The musicians in our Chicago network understand this history. They don’t just play the songs; they perform with the weight of a tradition behind them.
