JESSE BORREGO
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Jesse Borrego studied theatre and dance at The
University of the Incarnate Word; he studied acting at The California Institute of the Arts.
In the 1980s he attended an open audition for the TV Series "Fame" where he won the
role of "Jesse Velasquez," a role he would have for three years. Borrego, however, would
return to the stage appearing in productions at the noted Joseph Papp Theatre in New
York City and The Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. In addition to standout
performances on stage and in films such as "Blood In, Blood Out" and "Follow Me
Home," he began Lupita Productions in 1990. Lupita has produced theatrical productions
and concerts; additionally, Lupita has produced two 16mm short films: "El Sueño de
Simon" (1993) by James Borrego and "Flattime" (1995) by Jimmy Santiago Baca. At
home in front of the camera, on stage, or in the producer's seat, Borrego continues to be
one of the most versatile and resilient talents of our time. Borrego is one of the original
cast members of the Rio Bravo Ballet and has most recently starred in the film La
Mission with Benjamin Bratt.
MARIACHI AZTECA DE AMERICA
Gumecindo "Gino" Rivera founded Mariachi Azteca de America on March 18, 2006.
With 12 years of experience he felt it was time for a new, young and talented group to
emerge. Reminiscent of the traditional style of Jose Alfredo Jimenez and Javier Solis,
Mariachi Azteca de America also has its own unique sound with original pieces by Gino
Rivera such as Tema Azteca, Te espero and arrangements such as No Puedo Olvidarte, At
Last and a medley of songs from Jose Alfredo Jimenez. The latest addition to the
Mariachi group has also contributed to the original sound of Azteca de America. Ricardo
Salinas (violinist & vocalist) and Gino Rivera have composed two new songs, Mi Fiel
Compaňera and Dame Un Minuto that will be added to their first CD.
