The Rehearsal, which opened its sixth season last month at Mercado La Paloma, is a live showcase for young musical talent hoping to be seen and for seasoned musicians who want to try out new material in front of an audience.

In the summer of 2023, Ortiz and her team partnered with Mercado La Paloma to premiere the revamped Rehearsal.

In 2024, Mercado La Paloma became best known for its Michelin-star-winning ceviche counter Holbox — and rightly so.

The Mercado was founded some 30 years ago by Mexican immigrants who missed the beloved open-air markets of their hometowns.

But Ortiz pointed out that Mercado La Paloma has always been a place to find community.
