WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Mariachi group Flor de Toloache comes to the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms on Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. 

This performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from Purdue University Dining & Catering. 

Just one drop and the one you love is yours forever. So go tall tales about the power of Mexico’s toloache flower. When it comes to the sound of Latin Grammy-winners Flor de Toloache — New York’s first, and only, all-woman mariachi group — tastemakers like Questlove, Café Tacvba, Dan Auerbach and Jools Holland were among the instantly smitten. Founded as a trio in 2008, Flor de Toloache now encompasses a full mariachi ensemble hailing from the Americas, Europe, and Australia. This multicultural bouquet pushes the mariachi sound into an edgy, versatile and fresh take on tradition. One dose, and you too will be eternally hooked.
