About us
Las Chorizeras, is an all-Female ensemble founded by singer songwriter Nancy Sanchez. Las Chorizeras present Nancy’s original songs and select songs from the American and Mexican songbooks in a fresh new Regional Alternative and Regional Mexican way. They incorporate traditional mariachi instruments, including the guitarron, the vihuela and the violin, into a mariachi fusion style.
The idea of putting together an all-female ensemble came about on a trip Nancy took to her hometown of Toluca, Mexico. Nancy was inspired by Toluca’s beautiful sites and traditions, including the city’s great gastronomy.
One of Toluca’s most notable traditions is their famous chorizo recipes. In fact, many consider Toluca’s Chorizo the best in all of Mexico, and as an affectionate nickname people from Toluca are called “Chorizeras and Chorizeros”. Inspired by this fact, Nancy decided to name this project Las Chorizeras as a tribute to her hometown of Toluca Mexico.
