They've played for venues include the Mexican & U.S Embassies in London, the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert museum, IKEA, Disney, the British Library, the Camden Roundhouse. Amongst their amazing breadth of performances, they've serenaded Salma Hayek at her private birthday celebration in London in September 2019 and have also played for Sophie Ellis Bextor, and opened for Arcade Fire. Each member is a superb instrumentalist, and no less than three lead vocalists, all with the vocal power and clarity expected from any serious mariachi band.
