Feeling the mariachi beat – (a high school mariachi band in Utah)
Tagged: Mariachi, Mexico, student, UtahPosted on: January 9th, 2007“Zoran Quintana stands at the front of the mariachi band and strives to sing with machismo, or aggression, and to project over the vibrato, or vibrations.
Quintana is a senior at Provo High School. Its an anomaly in Utah high schools to have a band devoted to mariachi, the traditional folk music of Mexico, known for its rich strings and animated horns.
Provo High Schools mariachi band has only two Hispanic students ”” only Quintana is from Mexico. The ironys not lost on the down-to-Earth musicians, who asked Quintana to join the group as a singer during calculus class a few months ago.”
