Here is the Mariachi Plaza statue of Lucha Reyes as she was born on May 23, 1906 in Guadalajara, Mexico. Lucha Reyes, la Reina de los Mariachis, toured Los Angeles in 1920 where she received critical acclaim. She lived in Los Angeles until 1924 when she returned to Mexico but came back again in 1927 hoping to make a career in the movies. Among serious mariachi students, she is considered the most authentic performer of the Mexican cancion.
