Trio Sol de America

About

TRIO SOL DE AMERICA, winner of the 2012 BEST OF SAN JOSE PERFORMING ARTS award, is THE BEST Mariachi Trio in the San Francisco Bay Area. We provide quality entertainment for ANY occasion throughout the Bay Area and beyond. It's YOUR event. OUR goal? We want to help you make it perfect.

Estamos disponibles para su Misa cantada, celebraciones, funerales...

Our bid includes everything; we do not charge our clients extra for driving time, or gasoline. (However, we do have a two-hour minimum engagement policy for events 75 miles or more from San Jose.) For engagements of 2 or more hours, we include a sound system if needed at no additional charge. And we don't stick a video camera in our clients' face and ask for reviews, either -- listen to us and decide for yourself. We trust your ears will tell you the quality of our music. (That said, we do appreciate the good reviews and 5-star ratings given us by happy clients.)

We are talented professionals with more than 50 years of combined experience, a great sound and a wide repertoire of hundreds of great songs. We wear what you prefer -- traditional Charro (Gala) outfits if you like (including sombreros and capes or serapes too if you wish) -- Suit and Tie, or, weather permitting, Guayabera.

When you book us for your event, we'll be there ON TIME. And we'll be dressed for the occasion to your preference. Just let us know what you'd like.

We also play the following classical wedding music: The Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride)by Wagner; The Wedding March by Mendelssohn; Canon in D by Pachelbel.

Where we have performed:

* The Warfield, San Francisco * Oakland Coliseum * Henry J. Mello Center for the Performing Arts, Watsonville * Ironstone Vineyards, Modesto * Stanford University, Palo Alto * Whole Foods, Los Gatos (Cinco de Mayo celebration) * San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) * Univision 14, San Francisco * ......and many others, too numerous to list individually

Personnel

Daniel Puentes: Band Leader - Requinto, Guitar, third voice
Antonio Medina: Guitarron (bass), second voice
Gil / Feliciano (alternate): Requinto, First voice

Influences

Our influences include Los Panchos, Los Dandys, Los Tres Ases, Javier Solis, Vicente Fernandez, Pedro Infante, Los 3 Caballeros, Trio Calaveras, Antonio Aguilar, José Alfredo Jiménez, & many more

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 480 minutes

When you hire Mariachi Trio Sol de America for your event, you can expect us to arrive on time, dressed as per your preference in Mariachi outfits (including sombreros, serapes or capes too, if you wish) -- Guayabera, or business suits with ties. We have an extensive -- and growing -- repertoire of great songs for any occasion. Whether it's a birthday celebration, a wedding, anything! -- we'll play music that's appropriate and enjoyable.

Stage/Setup Requirements:
Most of our performances are acoustic, requiring no set-up. For those instances where amplified sound is needed, we provide a state-of-the-art sound system. In such cases, we'll need appropriate space for our gear, and electical outlets.

Additional Notes:
As a general rule we perform as a trio, but we also play as a duet, a soloist or a quartet. In most situations we perform as an acoustic group without amplification, but we do have a state-of=the-art sound system we provide if needed. Ask us!

These are just a few of the songs we know. For a more complete list, see our web site.
