LOS CHANGUITOS FEOS
JANUARY 17, 2026 * CONCERT 7 PM * FILM SCREENING 8 PM

Tucson-based Los Changuitos Feos is the seed to the whole youth mariachi movement in the United States. In 1964 Father Charles Rourke originated the idea of youth mariachi. Inheritors of a six decade legacy of musicianship and dedication, today’s Changuitos play for college scholarship money. Over $480,000 in scholarships have transformed former Changuitos into college graduates in law, medicine, science, education and technology. As a featured group at Common Ground on the Border and the Javarita Coffeehouse, a concert and their story will be presented.
