Los Cenzontles (Nahuatl for "The Mockingbirds") dig deep into cultural traditions, creating a vibrant, contemporary sound infused with the gutsy soul of Mexico's rural roots. Los Cenzontles (pronounced senn-SONT-less) have produced twenty albums, including Regeneration which was released to critical acclaim in 2012. The band has performed across the U.S., Europe and throughout Mexico, and have collaborated with artists from The Chieftains to Los Lobos, and Linda Ronstadt to Ry Cooder.

The group's core members also operate Los Cenzontles Mexican Arts Center in San Pablo, California, a nonprofit that has been training Bay Area youth in traditional Mexican music, dance and art since 1994.
