Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque Showcase Competition Concert
The Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque Showcase Competition Concert is a premier event where talented musicians from across the country, who have participated in the 3-day Mariachi Spectacular Conference, come together to perform and compete. This exciting competition gives participants the chance to showcase their skills to the people of Albuquerque while vying for the coveted opening slot in the prestigious Mariachi Spectacular Concert, held the following night at the Sandia Casino Amphitheater.
Musicians are grouped into categories including Elementary School, Middle School, High School, College, and Open. Each group is limited to a seven-minute performance, and no musical piece may be repeated once performed. One winner will be chosen from each category, and there will be an overall winner of the event. All category winners will have a professional production video created, courtesy of Mariachi Spectacular, which will be featured on our official Mariachi Spectacular YouTube Channel.
For family and friends unable to attend, the entire Friday night Showcase event is broadcast live online, reaching national and international audiences. Over the past two years, our broadcasts have averaged over 25,000 viewers.
Don’t miss the opportunity to witness some of the best up-and-coming mariachi talent in the country!
