Flor de Toloache - "La Cigarra" (Linda Ronstadt Tribute) | 2019 Kennedy Center Honors
Latin Grammy winners Flor de Toloache perform "La Cigarra" to honor Linda Ronstadt during the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors. Flor de Toloache make New York City history as its’ first and only all-women mariachi group. Founded in 2008, Flor de Toloache is led by singers Mireya I. Ramos (founder) & Shae Fiol (founding member). Reminiscent of the early days of mariachi, the group started as a trio -- Harp, Violin and Vihuela. Today, Flor De Toloache’s members hail from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States. The result of this cultural bouquet is an edgy, versatile and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences not unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love potion. The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates icons who, through their artistry, have left an indelible stamp on our collective cultural consciousness,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. Linda Ronstadt is the defining voice of a generation, spanning genres, languages, and continents. In a star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, the 2019 Honorees were saluted by today's leading performers from New York, Hollywood, and the arts capitals of the world through performances and tributes.
