Fiesta del Norte Mariachi Performance In-Person
Join us on the library lawn for an afternoon of mariachi. Dressed in traditional “charro” outfits, their repertoire spans from the Mariachis of Jalisco to the Nortenas of Chihuahua, to the harp music of Vera Cruz, down to the Marimba music of Chiapas. All this is played on authentic instruments such as guitar, vihuela, guitarron, violin, harp, bajosexto, trumpet, accordion, and marimba with beautiful singing throughout. Song translations, storytelling and cultural insights are interwoven between musical numbers. This bilingual performance is a delight for all ages, and for audience members of all cultural backgrounds. The audience will be included in the singing, dancing, hand-clapping, maraca-shaking, and the joyful calls or ‘gritos’ heard on every song. So put on your sombreros and celebrate Mexico with East Hartford-based Fiesta del Norte! Register for a reminder. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be moved indoors.
*Please bring a chair or picnic blanket to sit on. Chairs will not be provided.*
