Omaha Entertainment Awards ‘Best Ethnic’ Group 2007
In 2007, Mariachi Luna y Sol was voted by the Omaha Entertainment Awards under the Live Music category as ‘Best Ethnic Group’ along with most recently assisting Mannheim Steamroller at the Qwest concert in Omaha, NE. Recognized as the premier mariachi in the Midwest—it’s the only complete mariachi in the region that has a full ensemble of violins, guitars, vihuela, guitarron, trumpets and vocals—with their beautiful harmonies and soloists they have stunned crowds with unforgettable performances across the country from concerts to private events.
In 2006 and 2007, Luna y Sol was one of the only Latino groups to be nominated by the Omaha Entertainment Awards in the Live Music Category. It is recognized as the only mariachi in the Midwest to have a combination of adult and youth performers that can range from a two to thirteen piece group upon request.
What sets this mariachi above all the rest is that it takes the music serious, says director Marcos Mora. “We do it because it’s our passion but at the same time we want to take the music to the next level—we’ve yet to see a mariachi do that here in the area…”
For the past years, they have studied with maestros from across the country as well as México to improve their repertoire to become better musicians. The group is housed at the South Omaha Arts Institute (SOAI) where they practice and do special concerts.
"The South Omaha Arts Institute is doing important work in training young Omahans in the musical and dance arts of Latino Cultures. I am a fan and great admirer of their contributions and love the music that's coming from SOAI," says Hal France.
