Iván Garza, at just 27 years old, is one of Mariachi Vargas’s newest and youngest members. Inspired during his childhood by his Grandfather Nabor Garza’s love of music, Iván was given his first violin at six years of age and within months was capturing hearts as he started to perform alongside his grandpa in his little traje de charro. Upon turning 18, Ivan began studying Facultad Popular de Bellas Artes at the Universidad de Michoacán in Morelia before later pursuing his mariachi goals in Guadalajara, Jalisco. After a brief tryout period, Ivan’s dreams came true in December of 2022 when he was invited by Carlos Martinez to become a member of Mariachi Vargas and live out his lifelong goal in the greatest mariachi in the world.
