Mariachi Ortega was originally founded in 1974 with three members. Due to the leadership of Enrique Ortega the group has grown in size and professional ability over the years.
The group is known for its elegant style of boleros and energetic cumbias, rancheras, polkas, and sones.
Mariachi Ortega performs for private and public events such as fund-raisers, weddings, reunions, birthdays, holiday parties, masses, and restaurant events. As a group they have played for the general public, politicians, and celebrities. Every year the band is asked to play at the Francis Ford Coppola harvest fiesta. In the past, Mariachi Ortega performed at the Democratic fund raiser hosted by President Clinton in Portola Valley ( May 14th, 1999). The band has also played for past San Francisco mayor Willie Brown. This past year Mariachi Ortega was priviledged to play for the new Copia Center in Napa, California. Also, Mariachi Ortega performed for the first time in the San Jose Mariachi 2003 Festival. On March 20, Mariachi Ortega, was given the priviledge of a recording session in Napa, CA. Our CD's will soon be available for consumers.
