Sounds of traditional mariachi instruments, such as the guitarrón, vihuela, and violin, blend into their unique mariachi fusion style.
Hailing from Los Angeles, the electrifying all-female bicultural band Las Chorizeras has just released two singles, “Un Sueño” and “Blue Eyed Man,” from their upcoming self-titled debut album set for release on May 16, 2025.
Founded by singer-songwriter Nancy Sanchez, the group performs original songs by Nancy and the band, as well as selected pieces from American and Mexican songbooks. Their music is presented in a fresh, contemporary style that blends Regional Alternative and Regional Mexican influences. They incorporate traditional mariachi instruments, such as the guitarrón, vihuela, and violin, into their unique mariachi fusion sound.
In the song “Un Sueño,” bandleader Nancy Sanchez dedicates this original composition to her grandmother, celebrating the enduring love our culture holds for our ancestors. The arrangement, created by the talented Juan De Dios Noperi, features a beautiful lush orchestration that is reminiscent of the great Mexican classics.
Las Chorizeras delve into their Americana roots with their new single, “Blue Eyed Man,” which embodies a Border Country Classic. Written by Darlene Perez and Nancy Sanchez, the song portrays the story of a young Latina who is trying to forget her Blue Eyed Man.
Earlier this year, Las Chorizeras received a standing ovation at NAMM 2025 after performing their song “Blue Eyed Man.” They have been captivating audiences with their live performances. Additionally, they gained significant acclaim when their Spanish version of Journey’s “Open Arms,” titled “Dispuesto A Amar,” was featured in the popular Netflix series *The Lincoln Lawyer.*
About Las Chorizeras
During a trip to her hometown of Toluca, Mexico, Nancy was inspired to create an all-female ensemble. Captivated by Toluca’s sights and renowned gastronomy, she learned about the local chorizo, considered the best in Mexico. Residents proudly call themselves “Chorizeras” and “Chorizeros.” To honor her roots, Nancy named her project Las Chorizeras.
