Chicago's only all women Mariachi band.
Mariachi Sirenas began when the three cousins crossed paths with Izguerra at another mariachi performance in 2016. While all-female mariachi groups were common across the country, there wasn’t a Chicago-based one. In the span of six months, Izguerra and the three cousins rallied eight other female mariachis to join their new group. On March 8, 2017, International Women’s Day, they held their first practice.
Six of the seven current members are first generation Mexican American. Five are first generation musicians. Three, Ibet Herrera, Jeanette E. Nevarez, and Laura Velázquez, are cousins. The rest are “adopted ones.”
