About The Cesar Chavez Foundation Founded in 1966 as the National Farm Workers Service Center by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Richard Chavez and others with involvement from Senator Robert F. Kennedy and legendary United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther, the service center was initially conceived to help meet the social service and health needs of farm workers across the United States. When Cesar began building the farm worker movement five decades ago, he knew it would take a strong union to address the economic injustices workers suffer at the workplace. He was also convinced it would take a movement to overcome the heavy burdens of poverty, discrimination and powerlessness his people endure. For more Information visit http://chavezfoundation.org

About Los Camperos De Nati Cano Mariachi Los Camperos is led by Natividad “Nati” Cano. A traditionalist and a visionary, Cano has both mirrored and shaped the history of mariachi music. He was born in 1933 into a family of mariachi musicians in Jalisco, Mexico, one of the many west Mexican communities that gave life to the mariachi tradition. His career took him first to nearby Guadalajara, Mexico’s second largest city, and then further away to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, he and Los Camperos emerged as a major driving force of the mariachi music tradition in the United States. Los Camperos de Nati Cano has existed for over 50 years and is noted for demanding musical arrangements that highlight the individual skills and voices of the players. The ensemble employs the finest musicians from Mexico and the United States and has performed for audiences worldwide. For more Information visit https://www.facebook.com/camperosdenaticano?fref=ts
