LAS AZALEAS

Founded by Diana Olivares, Las Azaleas are a Latina-led musical ensemble dedicated to performing mariachi, boleros, and folk music composed or popularized by pioneering women in Latin music. Their performances pay homage artists such as Selena, Natalia Lafourcade, Maria Teresa, Rocio Durcal, and Maria Grever whose artistry has stood the test of time. While they primarily perform music in Spanish, they can be heard singing in a variety of other languages as well as they shine a spotlight on the women who rocked the stage and continue to inspire an entire industry for generations to come. Enjoy this performance at CPAC in recognition of Mexican Independence Day.
