Mariachi women
America's first all-female mariachi band, Reyna de Los Angeles, is the subject of a PBS documentary that airs tonight.

  • Lucha broke that ceiling 70 years ago

    Lucha Reyes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucha_Reyes_(Mexican_singer)) broke the lead male mariachi glass ceiling in Mexico in the 1930's. At the time it was rather controversial, but it hasn't been since then. An all female mariachi band is nowadays more of a curio than anything else (say like an all blonde mariachi band).
