World-Class Director -
Hector Castro
Mariachi Los Vaqueros is directed by violinist Héctor R. Castro.
Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, his career includes work with Mariachi Sol de México, Los Camperos, and Mariachi Cobre, along with performances with Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernández, Linda Ronstadt, Marco Antonio Solís, and Rocío Dúrcal.
He is based in Los Angeles and oversees the musical coordination of the Mariachi Los Vaqueros ensemble.
Los Vaqueros performs rancheras, sones, boleros, cumbias, and related traditional styles.
Set length, timing, and ensemble size are planned directly with clients according to the needs of each event or production.
Standard uniforms and a consistent stage presentation are maintained across all performances.


Scheduling, arrival times, and performance duration are arranged in advance based on the date, location, and structure of the event. Details such as access, setup requirements, and performance flow are reviewed prior to the event to ensure clear coordination.
Once confirmed, performances follow the agreed schedule while remaining responsive to the pacing of the event and the conditions of the space.
