18th Annual Noche Cultural - UC Riverside
 
Chicano Student Programs along with Cultural Events of UC Riverside presents the 18th Annual Noche Cultural on Saturday, January 22, 2011. The event is an evening of variety entertainment for the entire family. Doors open at 6:15 pm with show to begin at 6:30 pm in the University Theatre.  
            
This year's line up includes a performance by Ixya with Conjunto Hueyapan. Ixya sings in a variety of Mexican music styles: huapangos, boleros, canciones rancheras, traditional songs in indigenous languages such as Nahuatl and Purépecha, as well as sones in the jarocho, huasteco, and mariachi traditions. She made her stage debut at age 12 at the Tuscon International Mariachi Conference with her idol Linda Ronstadt. A musical presentation will be provided by Mariachi Reyna de los Angeles.  In a musical genre largely dominated by men, Mariachi Reyna de los Angeles has been breaking stereotypes and shaping new cultural traditions since 1994. Enriching the mariachi forum as America's first all female mariachi ensemble, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles brings sensitivity, beauty, warmth and an attractive perspective to the realm of Mexico's musical heritage. Mariachi Reyna de los Angeles (or simply known as Mariachi Reyna) is a 12-member all female mariachi group that has earned a reputation in the music industry as pioneers. Under the direction of mariachi maestro José Hernandez (of Mariachi Sol de México), Mariachi Reyna has released three albums: Solo Tuyo (Yours Only), El Mejor Mariachi Feminino del Mundo (The Best Female Mariachi in the World) and Compañeras, which was nominated for both the Grammy and Latin Grammy awards last year.
 
The evening also includes performances representing various regions of México by Ballet Folklórico de Moreno Valley High School and Ballet Folklórico de UCR.  Both dance groups include students from the local area and perform in the community at various events. Bañuelos Charro Team directed by Ramon Bañuelos will delight the audience with Mexican rope tricks. 
 
Making their 18th appearance will be the local familia Los Romero with their own very special renditions of romantic ballads. 
 
Admission is $10 general / $8 students.  Parking is $5 per car in Lot 6.  Directional signs on campus lead to the theatre. Due to limited seating, advance ticket purchase is recommended.
