The ‘Adelitas’ were Mexican women who took to arms in the Mexican
revolution to rebel against the many injustices of the time. The name
comes from one such woman, for whom a revolutionary famous
‘corrido’ was written, but has now come to symbolise all of these
fearless warrior women.
Formed in London in 2013 this unique band was born out of the desire
to shatter stereotypes within this traditionally male-dominated genre.
With band members originally from Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Italy and
the U.K they are the only female Mariachi band in Europe. This is a
lively band in full costume, ready to create the rousing international
sounds of Mexico.
