Mariachi may be a male-dominated genre, but that won’t be the case for long if Flor de Toloache has anything to say about it. Hailing from New York City, Flor bills itself as the world’s “first and only” all-female mariachi (“maria-she?”) band, performing in every configuration from a trio to a 10-piece. They first emerged back in 2014, breaking down doors and rethinking what the mariachi sound could achieve. Their new album, Indestructible, shades into R&B and reggae, and features a guest stint from John Legend singing en español. Legend probably won’t make the gig at The Ritz, but this bold and bad-ass group of women won’t be diminished.
