Mariachi for the Soul
by Music Lover on 6/9/23Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodLike in the past years, the Mariachi Festival USA 2023 did not disappoint. I know of no other type of music that is shared by all generations, from the young kids that join Mariachi bands to their grandparents and generations before their grandparents. This music can lift you to high levels of happiness and celebration and it can also console your hurting heart. It speaks of the beauty found through the country of Mexico, its different customs and traditions that vary from state to state. It speaks of humility and the struggles of farming life and the rewards of hard work. Mariachi music is felt in the soul and for some, it runs through their veins. To listen to that special song that speaks to you can send a flood of emotions through your senses, especially the older songs and pieces that we all grew up listening to. I was thrilled to see the famous Hollywood Bowl fill to capacity with Mariachi music lover!
