Who is Nati Cano?

Natividad "Nati" Cano is a leader in mirroring and shaping the history of mariachi music. Born in 1933 in Ahulsculco, Jalisco, his early career took him first to nearby Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city, and then further away to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, he and his group, Los Camperos, emerged as a major driving force of the mariachi music tradition.

Nati's life goal has been to bring a greater acceptance, understanding, and respect to the mariachi tradition as a whole, and to reach the widest possible audience with his music.
