> This August, the **Los Angeles Philharmonic** invites Angelenos on a vibrant, three-night journey into the heart of Mexican music and culture with **Mexican Nights**, an outdoor concert series at **The Ford** amphitheater in the Cahuenga Pass.
>
> Part of the LA Phil’s 2025 Latin Music Concert Series, *Mexican Nights* brings together legendary performers, traditional dancers, and rising young artists to celebrate the romance, rhythms, and regional pride that define Mexican heritage. Held under the stars at one of L.A.’s most iconic venues, each night offers a unique expression of the Mexican spirit—through **boleros**, **mariachi**, and the colorful artistry of **wedding serenades and folkloric dance**.
>
> ### Three Nights of Culture, Celebration &amp; Community

>
> **AUGUST 2 – Boleros de Noche: A Reunion Decades in the Making**
> Beloved musicians **Marisoul y Los Hermanos Carlos** return to the stage in a rare reunion, reviving the romantic boleros that first echoed from Placita Olvera decades ago. This performance promises more than nostalgia—it’s a heartfelt serenade to the soul of Los Angeles.
>
> **AUGUST 7 – Leyendas del Mariachi: Icons of a National Treasure**
> Experience mariachi royalty as legendary musicians from **Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, Los Camperos, Nuevo Tecalitlán, Mariachi Cobre**, and more come together in an unprecedented, powerhouse performance. A must-see for fans of traditional Mexican music.
>
> **AUGUST 16 – Serenatas y Bodas de México: Dance, Identity, and Celebration**
> Over 30 dancers from **Grandeza Mexicana Folk Ballet Company** and **Teocalli Ballet Folklórico**, plus youth ensemble **Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando**, celebrate Mexico’s unique wedding traditions. The evening concludes with the **world premiere** of a piece honoring the **Muxes of Oaxaca**, a moving tribute to gender diversity in Zapotec culture.
