Los Cenzontles "both honors and upends traditional Mexican music, tapping deep roots as it flowers into something completely new, and distinctly America." —The New York Times

About Los Cenzontles

Los Cenzontles (Nahuatl for "The Mockingbirds") dig deep into Latino traditions to promote dignity, pride, and cultural understanding. The group has pioneered revivals of Mexican roots music in California by bringing traditions to new generations. The Mockingbirds now create a powerful new hybrid sound—creating a fresh Chicano voice for a new generation.

Fronting the group is the dynamic vocal dueto of Fabiola Trujillo and Lucina Rodriguez. The Mockingbirds effortlessly mix electric bass and drums with traditional Mexican instruments—jarana, vihuela, requinto, pandero and quijada (jawbone)—creating a powerful contemporary sound infused with the gutsy soul of Mexico’s rural roots music.

The group’s core members also operate Los Cenzontles Mexican Arts Center in San Pablo, California. The Center has been training area youth in traditional Mexican music, dance, and crafts since 1994.
