Encyclopedia > Garibaldi (group)

Garibaldi was a Mexican group of young men and women, wearing a very free version of the traditional charro costume while singing modern songs, causing some controversy. The name Garibaldi comes from a place in Mexico City where mariachis (traditional groups of Mexican singers) can be found.


Many of its former members made careers as actors, singers and presenters, like Patricia Manterola, Pilar Montenegro and Ingrid Coronado.


Other members are:

  • Katia Llanos
  • Victor Noriega
  • Luisa Fernanda Lozano
  • Sergio Mayer (who participated in BigBrother VIP Mexico in 2004)
  • Charly López
  • Javier Ortiz
