Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar

Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar, founded in 1994 by Jaime Cuéllar, has captivated audiences for over 30 years with dynamic musicianship and vibrant performances. Now led by Jimmy Cuéllar, the group is one of Los Angeles’ premier mariachi ensembles, sharing the stage with icons like Juan Gabriel, Alejandro Fernández, and Pepe Aguilar.

They’ve performed at major venues nationwide and recently appeared on Tiny Desk Concerts with Camila Cabello, highlighting mariachi’s global reach. Their viral collaborations and high-profile appearances—including at the White House—continue to elevate their reputation as one of California’s leading mariachi groups.

"The generous program of 13 numbers, several of them tributes to departed legends such as Selena and Juan Gabriel, displays Mariachi Garibaldi’s powerful voices. The troupe’s multi-instrumentalists switch with seeming effortlessness from fever-paced violins to mellow horns to various forms of guitars."             - Janice Steinberg, San Diego Story

"Camila Cabello's new song, “La Buena Vida,” features the California-based outfit, Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar. The snappy tune finds Cabello belting a kiss-off over a swift rush of strings, horns, and guitars." 
- Jon Blistein, Rolling Stone

"They are amazing musicians. The vocals were outstanding. The Mexican extended falsettos performed by several of them were great.  Mariachi Garibaldi was equal in caliber to any classical string orchestra performing with operatic singers. Their musicianship and presentation was impeccable, well-styled and executed. The pizzicato passages by all three violinists were over the top."
