FOLKLORICO AND MARIACHI PERFORMANCE

Sunday, February 19 - We went with friends Jane and Joe to Juarez-Lincoln High School's presentation "Grupo Folkdorico "Sol Azteca" Mariachi and Conjunto "Sol"", dances that emphasize local folk culture. This high school is located in the La Joya Independent School District. This was an awesome show. The kids are 9-12th graders. The entire show lasted two and a half hours but flew by. The dancers, singers and musicians were all super!

Here is a little example of what these kids can do.

AZTECA (CONCHEROS) – Mexico
Mexican ritual dance that preserves many elements of pre-Columbian religious ritual.

These bells on the dancer's feet made the music for the dance. It was a real treat.2-azteca-feet

Spain
Flamenco music and dance of the Andlusian Gypsies.
