Following a raucous feet-stomping performance at the annual Fiesta Del Sol in Chicago\u2019s Pilsen neighborhood, Mariachi Sirenas are greeted by a gaggle of excited festivalgoers backstage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The all-women mariachi band had just wrapped up an hour-long set of well-known mariachi classics like \u201c<\/span>Las Ciudades,<\/span>\u201d \u201cCielito Lindo Huasteco,\u201d and \u201c<\/span>La Sirenita Baila (Cumbia Popurri)<\/span>\u201d on a sunny July afternoon. Attendees swayed to the lilting voices and fast-paced tempos of the violins, trumpets and guitars \u2014 the group\u2019s signature sound since it formed in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even with a quincea\u00f1era after their festival set, several band members made time to speak with eager fans who praised their performance and feminine take on traditional mariachi songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariachi Sirenas has become a source of community, family and culture for the Sirenas themselves and their fans, who feel pride when seeing them perform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy goodness, they were amazing,\u201d attendee Maria War\u00e9 gushed. \u201cI just wanted to get up there and do some background with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The Chicago band\u2019s popularity has surged in recent years. And the performance at Fiesta del Sol, a festival organized by Pilsen Neighbors Community Council that celebrates Latino culture, only fueled more interest. Ibet Herrera, the band\u2019s cofounder, said the set prompted several calls from people interested in booking the band for private events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is welcome news for the band, especially with these gigs serving as many members’ full-time jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past six years, the all-women mariachi band has worked tirelessly to defy stereotypes while honoring their Mexican roots. The band has dedicated hours rehearsing to perfect their public performances. They have cultivated a following and are leaving a mark on Chicago’s mariachi community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herrera believes they have put in the work to not just be known as \u201cChicago\u2019s all-women mariachi group,\u201d but a talented mariachi group in their own right<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

\u201cIt’s been very positive,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cEveryone has been so supportive and so loving, and they’ve really taken us under their wing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The seeds of Chicago\u2019s only genre-defying mariachi band<\/span><\/h2>\n

Herrera started Mariachi Sirenas with fellow mariachi performer Er\u00e9ndira Izguerra, who she met at a performance in 2017. The two had long searched for an all-women mariachi group in the Chicago area. When neither could find one, they teamed up to start their own group later that year. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Inspired by their dulcet tones and melodic harmonies akin to mermaids and sirens, the women named the band \u201cMariachi Sirenas.\u201d They wanted to bring a \u201cfeminine visual to mariachi, [something] that is such a very masculine genre,\u201d Herrera said. Izguerra later moved to Mexico in 2020 and Herrera has since lead the Mariachi Sirenas on her own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Herrera now embraces mariachi music, but that wasn\u2019t always the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI [had] this love and hate with my culture,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cBeing first generation, [from] immigrant parents, you kind of want to be like everybody else and not have to do the adult thing. So, being Mexican, I knew I was Mexican, but I was kind of ashamed of it. I was embarrassed of it, and mariachi is very Mexican. So I just didn’t like it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Herrera still remembers one Father\u2019s Day when her mother booked a mariachi to perform for her father. Much to Herrera\u2019s chagrin, her mother \u2014 a lover of the genre \u2014 would later hire one of the band\u2019s performers to give Herrera mariachi lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She still looks fondly at that first summer being carpooled by her mother and taking mariachi lessons with her brother and cousins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI already had played the violin in orchestra in school,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cSo she says, \u2018You want to do it,\u2019 and I’m like, \u2018No,\u2019 and she’s like, \u2018Well, we’re gonna do it anyway,\u2019 and she got my cousins to do it, too. Then, every day that summer, we were doing mariachi lessons, and then through mariachi, I learned to love my culture again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A sisterhood of talented musicians honor their roots\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

To this day, Herrera\u2019s mariachi playing remains a family affair.\u00a0 Her teenage sister, Itzel, 16, and two cousins, Jeanette Nevarez, 32, and <\/span>Laura Velazquez, 29<\/span>, are all current members of Mariachi Sirenas. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Herrera also sees her other bandmates as honorary sisters \u2014 a bond that has grown with time and proximity. And like siblings, Herrera said the Sirenas know each other’s moods. When a member is hungry, when they\u2019re \u201coff their game,\u201d or in need of extra support, they are there to support each other. Recently, a member of the group lost their mother to brain cancer \u2014 an experience that brought the group closer together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was touching to see that the group was there as friends and not just as coworkers,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back at the last six years, Herrera attributes the success of Mariachi Sirenas, in part, to her mother for bringing mariachi music to her life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI [credit] all the work that I’ve been doing, and anything that’s come in the future or as far as we go \u2014 it\u2019s, for sure, because of my mom,\u201d Herrera said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

For all the growing success, it has not come easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariachi Sirenas initially faced its share of criticism. Some detractors believed the band only gained traction because they were young women who wore skirts. But Herrera has taken those criticisms in stride, attributing their success to their hard work and a commitment to honor their roots.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe do really respect our culture; we want to represent it as well as we can,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cBut with the understanding that we are also here from America.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The group is a fusion of their Mexican\u00a0 and American roots, Herrera said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMariachi Sirenas is a group of strong, independent, hardheaded Mexican-American women who just want to be able to have a good time while we’re performing, and hopefully, people also get that vibe when we’re doing it,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite their sometimes nontraditional approach to mariachi, Herrera is glad their music resonates with so many people. For her, performing with Mariachi Sirenas is a \u201cblessing\u201d she does not take for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
