Did You Know?
Until
the 1930's, Mariachi groups were almost entirely unknown outside their
own region. This began to change when the Mariachi Vargas de
Tecalitlán were invited to play at the 1934 inauguration of
President Lázaro Cárdenas, who was greatly
interested in fostering the native culture of Mexico. -www.mariachi.org
Catch
the 17th Annual Mariachi Heritage Benefit Concert
on April 20th.
