By starting this group, Gustavo was realizing his dream of directing a Mariachi band that he could hold to the highest standards to continue the beautiful culture of Mexico and pass down to new generations the songs and traditions of our people. From the rhythmic sounds of Jalisco, the powerful rancheras of Jose Alfredo Jimenez and Vicente Fernandez, to the romantic boleros of Javier Solis, Mariachi Los Toreros™ performs with great pride the music that has inspired and brought so much joy to people for decades).
