Sacramento-based all-female mariachi, Mariachi Bonitas, takes the stage during The HIVE Tasting Room & Kitchen’s outdoor concert, Live at The HIVE, on Friday, October 30, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Located at 1221 Harter Ave. in Woodland, Calif., The HIVE is Northern California’s largest honey and mead tasting room.
Changing the narrative of mariachi in Sacramento and beyond, Mariachi Bonitas de Dinorah Klingler is redefining what it means to be mariachi. This all-female ensemble is challenging stereotypes in a genre long dominated by men. With a deep commitment to musical excellence and a passion for elevating the voices of women in mariachi music, Mariachi Bonitas honors tradition while embracing innovation.
“Live at The HIVE started as a way to celebrate the positive power of bringing people together. It’s a chance for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather together and enjoy great music and food in our beautiful pollinator gardens,” explains Shoshana Zeldner, Director of Brand Strategy at Z Specialty Food.
In addition to phenomenal music, guests can explore The HIVE’s expansive pollinator gardens, savor a seasonal farm-to-fork menu, sip craft honey-brewed beverages and enjoy complimentary honey tastings. Family- and dog-friendly, Live at The HIVE welcomes guests of all ages. A sliding-scale cover charge of $0-$20 per person helps keep the experience accessible and welcoming to everyone in the community.
Founded in 2020 by the accomplished singer, songwriter, and musician Dinorah Klingler, Mariachi Bonitas is built on more than twenty years of leading the way in all female mariachi. Klinger started her musical journey with her guitar in Mexico City when she was nine years old. For fun, Klinger and her sisters would go to subways and buses to put on performances. After taking professional music lessons, she moved to Los Angeles as a 20 year old and joined an all-female mariachi called Mariachi Las Adelitas. Soon after, Klinger formed her own all-female mariachi, Mariachi Las Alondras who performed with stars such as Stevie Wonder, Sheila E, Patty LaBelle, and Celia Cruz. Twenty years later, Klinger moved to northern California and formed a new all-female mariachi, Mariachi Bonitas de Dinorah Klingler in Sacramento, California.
Live at The HIVE culminates during The HIVE’s 5th Anniversary Party featuring music by Wolf Jett on Saturday, November 14. For more information visit thehivewoodland.com.
