The live entertainment offerings throughout the Walt Disney World Resort have changed constantly over the years, always offering Guests something new to discover and enjoy during their day in a Disney Park. While many performers have come and gone, a few have managed to stand the test of time.
Mariachi Cobre was formed in Tucson, Arizona, in 1971 by founding member Randy Carrillo. Randy and his brother brought their traditional 12-piece Mexican Mariachi band to Florida in 1982 to perform for the opening of Epcot, and they've been there ever since.
Mariachi is a form of Mexican folk music which originated in Jalisco, in Western Mexico. The Mariachi Cobre features three musicians on guitar, two on trumpet and seven on violin.
The next time you're passing the Mexico pavilion in World Showcase or visiting the Plaza de los Amigos inside, be sure to take time to stop and enjoy one of Epcot's original cultural treasures, Mariachi Cobre.
