Las Caras Lindas is the sophomore release by New York City’s all-female mariachi group Flor De Toloache. For Las Caras Lindas, the quartet keeps crafting songs where traditional mariachi music instrumentation meets contemporary pop vocal styles sung in both Spanish and English. Accomplished musicians with great singing abilities playing old musical traditions from the least expected place.
