The famous Mexican “grito,” or cry of independence, could be heard coming from senior Tara Olson last Friday. Dressed in a traditional studded “charro” costume, a black suit with gold stitching, Olson blended right in to the band El Mariachi Quito Sol.
With just half of its members of Mexican heritage, the UW’s only mariachi band is about spreading Mexican culture in the UW community. In English, El Mariachi Quito Sol is translated as Mariachi of the Fifth Sun.
“They are incredibly diverse,” said Luna Garcia, a teacher for the Mexican folk youth dance group Joyas Mestizas. “You won’t find another mariachi with an Asian or white person. … You just won’t.””*
