The legendary Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan came into existence in 1965 when brothers Pepe Martínez Barajas and Fernando Martínez Barajas established the ensemble. Performances across Latin America and the U.S. followed soon afterward. In the 1980s and 1990s, a new wave of players entered the 12-piece traditional Mexican outfit, among them Fernando Martínez Jr. and Carlos Martínez. Angel Martínez Arreguin, son of Fernando Martínez Barajas, took over as the principal member in 1997.
