Join Mariana & Pepe as they bring our #BohemianLatinMusic to Frisco for a nice evening!!
Formed in the DFW in late 2019, El Chanclazo is a musical collective that is made up of various musicians of Latin America that are specialized in performing a variety of Latin American musical genres. Co-lead by Mariana Grahl (vocals) and Pepe Valdez (guitar and musical director), El Chanclazo is committed to rescuing a specific repertoire that they consider is important to perform and that they enjoy playing.
Besides Mariana and Pepe, Efren “Chiquis” Guzman (Percussion; Mexico), and Carlos “Fifo” Rengifo (Bass; Colombia) complete the rhythm section and the heart of the band. Chiquis and Fifo, each bring their own musical experiences and backgrounds to the table and are key elements to the band’s sound, versatility, and overall groove.
With the collective experience of 4 of Dallas’ most accomplished Latin Musicians and the deep passion and love for the music that they play, watching El Chanclazo is a great way to experience the vibrant culture of Latin America. If you are new to this music, an occasional listener or even a native Latino/a, you will for sure love the experience of listening and sharing an amazing time with El Chanclazo.
