Unexpected Traces in Jewish Places: Mexican Mariachi Music in Jerusalem

Mariachi Yerushalaim is a band that provides a live Mexican experience and ambience to its audience.

By using the traditional instruments and dressing in the authentic Mariachi attire, they put on a show that makes the audience feel as if they were actually in Mexico.

Yojanan Peretz, the pioneer of the group, made Aliya in 2018. Inspired by his former Hebrew professor Jacob Shekrel in Valencia, Spain he set out to scout the music scene in Israel. After months of extensive research, his heart was set on the Mexican genre.

In this interview with i24 TV, lead singer Yosef Daniel Villareal and the mariachi band sing and play Avadim Hayinu and Tequila near the walls of Jerusalem.
