The Herencia de México mariachi group makes history on Monday Night Football
The mariachi instrumental performance was a first for the Bears' Chicago stadium, and the fact that it was part of the Monday Night Football telecast meant it was viewed by a wide audience.

Mariachi Herencia de México performed the Star-Spangled Banner during an NFL game on Monday Night Football, making history as the first mariachi group to do so at Soldier Field in Chicago. The 14-member group, which started in Chicago 10 years ago and has been nominated for two Latin Grammys, played the anthem before the Chicago Bears' 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
This performance was part of their annual Latino Heritage Month observances. Despite the historical significance of their performance, some MAGA supporters expressed criticism on social media, arguing that the national anthem should be performed in a traditional manner and questioning the motives behind the gesture. The Mariachi Herencia de México is known for their instrumental renditions, having earned Latin Grammy nominations for their debut and follow-up albums.
While the group performs primarily in the United States, including a Mexican Independence Day concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington in 2017, their appearance at Soldier Field remains unique in the realm of sports.
