I crossed out one more item on my bucket list Monday!
I attended the Mariachi Alas de Oro at St. Edward’s University. This mariachi band played tracks by a variety of Mexican composers, and through their music, the band celebrated several events, including a vocalist’s mother’s birthday. The spirit in the whole room was lively. Many students and parents in the audience were clapping and singing along to the traditional and mainstream tunes.
I found the experience artistically and musically fulfilling. The vocalists and musicians put their soul into the music, and I felt it. My comments for this band are all positive, and the experience was one I will remember.
