In North Texas, mariachi groups ran music marathons Sunday, traveling from homes to churches – and even to a cemetery – to show North Texas mothers how much someone loves them.
“It’s something beautiful. It comes from our hearts, from our souls, from our feelings, from our culture,” said Hector Murillo, who plays trumpet with Dallas group Mariachi Jalisciense (as in Jalisco, the Mexican state that’s at the heart of mariachi music).
“The day seems long, but it’s really very short because we’re going from job to job to job and before you know it, the sun goes down and we’re still playing.”"*
