Founded by Nati Cano in , the Grammy-winning Mariachi Los Camperos (aka Los Camperos de Nati Cano) is one of North America's most revered mariachi bands.

Bio
Natividad Cano was born on July 23, , in the small village of Ahuisculco, Mexico. In this region of the western Mexican state of Jalisco and its capital city, Guadalajara, the musical ensemble known as mariachi originated in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the stringed instruments brought from Spain.

Cano's family were jornaleros who played mariachi music in their free time. His grandfather, Catarino Cano, was a self-taught guitarrĂłn player, and his father, Sotero Cano, was a versatile musician who was skilled at playing all the mariachi stringed instruments.

After six years at the Academia, Nati left, against the wishes of his instructor, Ignacio Camerena, to join his father and help supp
