Mariachi, Folklorico workshop perpetuates culture, tradition - Las Cruces, New Mexico

“Nimble fingers coax warm harmonies from a guitarron. Horns cry for attention. Future folklorico dancers practice their steps amid rounds of laughter and sparkling eyes.

And its only day one of the Mariachi and Folklorico workshop at Court Youth Center.

The week-long workshop, which has attracted youngsters age 6 to 18 from around Las Cruces as well as the region, is an opportunity to preserve traditional music and dance forms, organizer Margaret Torres said Monday.”
