Traditional mariachi musicians wear black suits with silver buttons down the pant legs and they’re all men. But women have been involved in mariachi music for decades. Leonor Xochitl Pérez has spent 17 years researching the role of women in mariachi music. She’s also a mariachi musician herself. Leonor Xochitl Pérez will be in Vancouver in March with an exhibition on the role of women in mariachi. She speaks with Redeye host Lorraine Chisholm.
