Mariachi Pueblo Viejo LLC 87-4331975 | Government Grant Application

Mariachi Pueblo Viejo LLC | Application Preview

 

Mariachi Pueblo Viejo LLC is applying for government grants to address current financial needs, including back-pay for its musicians, purchasing new suits, and covering office lease expenses. The business aims to become a leading mariachi ensemble in the U.S. with plans for national tours.

The application highlights the cultural significance of the ensemble, as all members come from Hispanic backgrounds. Manuel Ponce, the founder, is a first-generation American whose parents immigrated from Mexico. He aspires to create a lasting legacy through Mariachi Pueblo Viejo.

While facing competition from local groups like Mariachi Luz de Luna, Mariachi Azteca, and Mariachi Nuevo Azteca, the ensemble's traditional sound distinguishes it from rivals. Notably, it is the only professional all-male mariachi group in the state, featuring a General Musical Director who performs with the renowned Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan. The combination of cultural heritage and musical expertise solidifies their appeal and vision for success.
