On September 17, 2016, the City of Austin proclaimed it Mariachi Relampago Day.
This mariachi group communicated well leading into the event, showed up on time and performed for the full time as discussed beforehand. Besides living up to their word, they were incredibly talented. Almost every instrument player sang at different points and did amazing! They are so talented and I would 100% recommend and choose to hire again.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you! We enjoyed entertaining your guests.
Mariachi puntuales. Muy profesionales. Muchas gracias Mariachi relámpago!!!!
At the recent performance by Mariachi Relámpago at Carpenter Elementary's cultural night the audience was treated to an enlightening session on the various instruments that make up a traditional mariachi band. The band members took the time to introduce and explain each instrument, showcasing their unique sounds and roles within the ensemble. From the vibrant trumpets to the rhythmic guitarrón and the melodic violins, students and teachers alike gained a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of sounds that define mariachi music. I would highly recommend them for school functions.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you very much! Many of our musicians are teachers and enjoy performing for our school communities.
The group was great! On time and wow’d the students as they came into school. Thanks for making Valentine’s Day special for us and students!
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
We enjoyed the performance!

I hired Mariachi Relmpago to play during the cocktail hour at out company party. They didn’t disappoint! I heard many compliments all around from our employees and their guests. I would definitely hire them again 😊
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:

Thank you for the being wonderful hosts!
It was my wife's birthday, we had 30 guest in the backyard having a great time. Mariachi Relámpago texted ahead of arrival asking if it was a surprise. They did not disappoint, They entered playing and singing happy birthday through the side gate. The crowd went wild. They played request and even Mariachi Loco to which I was able to dance with my daughter, too. And now everyone want's to have another party just so we can hire them again. Thank you Carmen and your entire band, Mariachi Relámpago! for helping us create such wonderful lasting memories. People are still talking about it.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you John! I will be sure to pass your kind words to my violinist.
These guys were nice and took a request too at my daughter’s birthday party. I would hire them again!
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you for being great hosts!
We hired Mariachi Relámpago for a Christmas party that we had to cancel…we were fortunate to be reschedule them for May! Oh wow! They were so talented!! Amazing voices! I look forward to our next opportunity to hear them or hire them!!
This band was amazing and knew every song in the book! Worth every penny!!thank you guys for such a memorable day!
Their beautiful music added so much to our event! But even more, they were timely, professional, & flexible to our needs. Cannot recommend them more highly!
The band was on time, kind, joyful. They were easy to work with and did their job very well!
The musicians from Mariachi Relampago were fantastic. The real things. Beautiful music, awesome singing, and a wonderful vibe. They were the highlight of our party in the backyard, everyone loved them.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you Hans! What a great party y’all had and glad to be a part of it. You were an excellent host!
We hired Mariachi Relámpago for our wedding cocktail hour and were so happy with their performance! They were punctual, professional, and helped us time surprising our guests with their entrance. I would definitely recommend them for your events, thank you so much!
I highly recommend Mariachi Relampago.
The group was on time and after some front and back entry confusion came in playing. The 5 person group was just the right size for the backyard. Several people that were leaving returned to the party just to hear the music. The group composition had babies up to us oldies and everyone enjoyed the performance. The players interacted with the crowd and were very personable. I would do this again and highly recommend it as a party starter! Thanks for the fun.
The Mariachis were excellent, could not have asked for a better experience
A mariachi band was very important to my husband and I for our wedding reception. They arrived on time, in wonderful traditional traje. Our guests loved it so much! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Group all did a great job. We do not know names of mariachi songs and the group was able to play some fun classics a few slow a few fast and a little in between.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you, Kody!
Look no further, this is Mariachi Band you want to hire! Mariachi Relámpago played at birthday party I hosted over the weekend and I would hire them over and over again! As soon as I booked Adolph sent me a text confirming my booking and said to text If I needed anything prior to the event. The week prior to the party I reached out to Adolph and asked for them to enter through the side gate of our backyard for a surprise entrance. He immediately text back confirming exactly what was requested. The night of the event they waited at the side gate until exactly 8:45 and entered playing music! It was such a smooooth entry! After the first 2 songs, one of which was happy birthday, they stopped to ask for request. They knew every song requested and executed beautifully! These are professional musicians with strong voices and mighty on each instrument! Our guests were so impressed with the show! This band is everything I could have asked for, professional, timely, and amazing performers! Thank you so much for elevating our fiesta!!!
Highly recommend Marichi Relámpago!
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Y’all were a wonderful audience and way too kind! Thank you for choosing us!!!
Really appreciate Mariachi Relampago's professionalism and great performance. I hired this group for my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary and they were over the moon. Mom and Dad were surprised and very emotional. Mission accomplished!

We had a small backyard party and Mariachi Relámpago was a huge hit. They performed beautifully and were open to requests from guests. They sang everything we were hoping to hear and a few new tunes that are new favorites. Thank you for making our event so special during this stressful time.

Or should I say, La Bomb-a? Because Mariachi Relampago is the bomb! They were great and all of our guests at my son's engagement party really enjoyed them. Highly recommend.
Great
Everyone appreciated how well they played, and the main singers voice is phenomenal.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you for being such awesome hosts! Congratulations on the wedding!!!
Everyone absolutely loved the music. My only complaint: They arrived late and left early. The contract was for 4:45 arrival and playing time 5-6. They arrived around 4:50 and left at 5:50. I had to send someone running to give them their tip. The ceremony finished early which caused a gap. I would hire them again but would stipulate better coordination of arrival and departure. They told someone "they were taking a break" and left.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thanks for your feedback! A couple of points of miscommunication. We had the correct amount of musicians (7) on time at 4:45. Contract was for 6. Only one additional extra player was 5 minutes late. So 8 were in attendance. The agreement was one hour from 5-6pm, but since coordinator asked to start, the hour went from 4:50-5:50. And actually, an extra song was played so it was over a one hour performance, thank you for the tip. No one ever said they were taking a break. This I’m confused about. The exceptions of this performance were basically miscommunication. I take some responsibility because when we exchanged messages I was not clear when I told you you were changing up the agreement, which was if we start early, we play the hour and then end.
After 27 years, I’m still learning to make my service even better. Thank you for this feedback as I continue to improve my communication with clients.
I will hire them again and refer them to friends and familiy
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you and we enjoyed the receptive audience!
My guests, many of whom were from Mexico, as well as my guest of honor, a retiring teacher, LOVED Mariachi Relampago. They knew mainstream songs, as well as songs popular with the Hispanic culture. They were certainly one of the highlights of the evening. Punctual, professional, well-mannered, and talented. I would highly recommend them.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:
Thank you for the kind words. We enjoyed performing for you and your guests!
Event was beautiful on time great birthday present. thank you
Mariachi Relampago is amazing! Communication was excellent. My party was so much fun thanks to their professional proformance. Highly recommend them.
Response from Mariachi Relámpago:

Mariach Relampago is a professional group that caters to the needs of the client and audience. Our members are true professionals and not amateurs being paid. If all you want is a novelty or gimic at your event, then we are not for you. If you want a professional group who's trumpets are clean, violins in tune, rhythm section precise and voices powerfully exceptional, then we are what you are looking for!
Although a traditional wedding, party and event group, we are a high quality ensemble that has concert experience and quality.
When you hire Mariachi Relampago, you're hiring the highest quality group in Austin.
Mariachi Relampago started in 1991 under the direction of Adolph Ortiz and was originally called Mariachi Chapala. In 1992, the name was changed to Mariachi Relampago (Lightning), a symbol of typical Texas weather. Most of the original musicians were graduates of maestro Zeke Castro's Travis High School mariachi program. Currently comprised of musicians from Laredo, Odessa, San Antonio, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Saltillo (Mexico) and Austin, Mariachi Relampago has a definite Texas sound, yet still authentic to Mexico. All of the musicians of Mariachi Relampago are true professionals with years of experience under their belt. When you hire Mariachi Relampago, you're hiring the best.
Members of Mariachi Relampago have been involved in recordings for movie soundtracks, library archives, studio archives, commercials (Television & Radio), and music CDs. Some members have taught in Mariachi Festivals in the state of Texas and beyond. Mariachi Relampago also donates money to charitable organizations, and on occasion, performs for the community to benefit organizations with a good cause.
Mariachi Relampago received an invitation to compete in the prestigious Houston Livestock and Rodeo Mariachi Invitational and took 2nd place. Mariachi Relampago was also honored with the award of "Mejor Mariachi" from Univision's Premios a la Musica Latina. With all their hard work and dedication for the city of Austin, they were the first group from Austin to be nominated and win the award. No other group can claim they were the first. They are also winners of Austin's first mariachi competition, "Fiesta del Mariachi" held at the Long Center. In June of 2009, Mariachi Relampago was one of the opening acts for Mariachi Vargas, who are known as El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo (the world's best mariachi). As Austin's only Mariachi on a record label, you can expect to hear a new CD from them every couple of years. Check out Viewpoint Records for other great artists in the area.
We are all acoustic and require no amplification with the exception of concert settings.
