Juanita Ulloa, inspired by the vibrant mariachi scene of her childhood in Mexico City, has authored The Mariachi Voice, a comprehensive study of mariachi music. By blending academic insights with practical guidance, Ulloa's work aims to fill gaps in the understanding and appreciation of this artform, particularly highlighting the often overlooked contributions of women. Her book has been integrated into music programs and includes interviews with prominent mariachi artists. To celebrate its release, Ulloa will perform on March 20, reinforcing her dedication to preserving and promoting the heritage of Mexican music.
Ulloa's book, The Mariachi Voice, aims to bridge gaps in understanding mariachi music, focusing on the history, Canon, and especially the role of women in this artform.
Growing up near a popular mariachi venue, Ulloa learned music through a unique method, absorbing Mexican ranchera songs by ear, which set her apart in the industry.
Her book serves as both an academic treatise and a practical guide, enriching the teaching of mariachi singing and emphasizing inclusive representation in the music.
Ulloa's concert and book release symbolize a significant step in recognizing the contributions of female artists in mariachi, addressing an often overlooked aspect of this genre.
