Majo Aguilar: My beautiful people, I hope you are all ready for an unforgettable evening of music, celebration, and of course, Don Julio. I am beyond excited to be a part of this special event, honoring the rich heritage of my culture and the delicious flavors of Don Julio tequila.
As a Mexican artist, it is important for me to stay true to my roots and incorporate my heritage into my music and performance. And what better way to do that than with Don Julio, a brand that not only represents the spirit of Mexico, but also embodies quality and craftsmanship.
Before I take the stage, I have a special pre-show routine that helps me get in the zone and set the tone for the night. First and foremost, I always make sure to have a light and healthy meal to fuel my body and give me the energy I need to perform. As a musician, I am constantly on the go and it is important for me to take care of my well-being. But of course, no pre-show ritual is complete without a refreshing Don Julio cocktail.
One of my favorite cocktails is the Don Julio Margarita. It’s a classic drink that never fails to impress with its perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The secret to making the perfect Margarita is to use fresh lime juice and Don Julio Blanco tequila. The crisp and clean taste of Don Julio Blanco adds an extra kick to the drink, making it a crowd favorite.
Now, let’s talk about my glamorous mariachi wardrobe secrets. As a modern mariachi singer, I love to incorporate traditional elements into my outfits while still staying true to my personal style. For my performances, I love to wear vibrant colors and bold patterns that represent the energy and passion of Mexico. And of course, no mariachi outfit is complete without the iconic sombrero, which I like to decorate with colorful ribbons and flowers.
But aside from the fashion, what truly makes a mariachi outfit special is the attention to detail and the craftsmanship. Just like Don Julio tequila, which is made with the highest quality ingredients and a meticulous process, mariachi outfits require the same level of dedication and precision. Each outfit is handmade and takes hours to create, but the end result is always worth it.
As we celebrate “A Summer of Don Julio”, I am reminded of the beauty and richness of my culture and the remarkable journey that led me to this moment. From singing in small restaurants to performing on the big stage, I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way and the people who have supported me along the way.
So, my beautiful people, let’s raise our glasses and toast to a summer filled with music, laughter, and of course, Don Julio. Thank you to Billboard and Don Julio for this amazing opportunity to share a glimpse of my world with all of you. I can’t wait to celebrate with you all and show you the true spirit of Mexico.
Cheers to a summer of unforgettable memories and delicious cocktails with Don Julio! Salud!
