Hornitos Tequila has come up with an interesting twist that pays homage to the fun, traditional mariachi music we all enjoy, along with a crisp shot of tequila. Mash ups and custom interpretations are as popular as ever, and Hornitos is supporting their popularity and giving musicians a chance at stardom via the new Hornitos Mariachi Mash Up competition.
The Hornitos Mariachi Mash Up competition challenges all kinds of musical acts to create their own mariachi-inspired mash up and kick off tequila season right. Winners will receive exposure in Billboard Magazine and $10,000 cash.
Entrants can select from one of the following songs to cover mariachi style to qualify:
• “Young Folks” By Peter, Bjorn and John
• “Surrender” by Cheap Trick
• “What I Like About You” by The Romantics
• “Little Secrets” by Passion Pit
• “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen
Winners will be announced on June 6th 2011 and the top band will be featured in Billboard Magazine’s coveted “Backbeat” section in a June 2011 issue and receive a $10,000 cash prize.
To be considered for the contest, band members must be 21+, videos should be no more than three minutes in length, and videos should also include the phrase Horns Up as a tribute to the new Hornitos’ horn-shaped shot glass.
