Cano Program Advisor The highly respected Natividad "Nati" Cano, is a pioneer and leader of the Mariachi Renaissance, as founder and director of the world renowned, Mariachi Los Camperos. He is credited for taking mariachi from the streets to prestigious concert halls throughout the United States. From the White House, where he performed before President and Mrs. Clinton, to Guadalajara's Teatro Degollado, where he performed before President and Mrs. Zedillo, to Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, to Oslo Norway, to San Francisco's Orpheum Theater, Nati Cano's dream of taking this musical folk tradition to the mainstream is being realized. |

Nati's achievements have been acclaimed both in the United States, where he has been awarded the National Endowment for the Art's National Heritage Fellowship and in Mexico, receiving the coveted Silvestre Vargas Award for Artistic Excellence. No other Mexican folk artist has been honored with such distinguished recognition on both sides of the border. Mr. Cano has been active as a lecturer, advisor, and performer at the Tucson International Mariachi Conference over the last decade, and continues to serve as a lecturer for the Department of Ethnomusicology and Systematic Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His ensemble appeared on the PBS television special, "Americanos," filmed at the Kennedy Center alongside some of today's most popular Latin American recording artists, including Gloria Estefan, Jose Feliciano, and Juan Luis Guerra. Most recently, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano was awarded a Grammy for 2008 Best Regional Mexican Album, “Amor, Dolor, y Lagrimas.” |
