The Tucson International Mariachi Conference returns to the Tucson Convention Center Arena in late April. The Tucson International Mariachi Conference was founded in 1982 and nurtured by such legends as Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán, Mariachi Cobre, the late Lola Beltrán, and Tucson native Linda Ronstadt. The city is considered the birthplace of the youth mariachi group movement.
