Flor De Toloache Music Without Borders

The Latin GRAMMY Winning Flor de Toloache is led by singers Mireya I. Ramos (founder) and Shae Fiol (founding member). Reminiscent of the early days of mariachi the group started as a trio, Harp, Violin and Vihuela. Today, Flor De Toloache’s members hail from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States. This defines their unique flavor and sound. The result of this cultural bouquet is an edgy, versatile and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences, not unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love potion.

While working to preserve centuries-old traditions of Mariachi, the gro up’s melange of the traditional and the modern pushes the boundaries of the genre and brings Mariachi music to new audiences. The band’s live performances have been praised by Rolling Stone, Billboard Magazine, The New Yorker, GQ Magazine, The New York Times.
