Mariachi Cobre was founded in 1971 and originally based in Tucson, Arizona. However, they have been the mariachi ambassador to the world since 1982 when they began performing at EPCOT.

The band performs 25-minute long shows multiple times per day in the Mexico Pavilion near La Cantina de San Angel.
