The Metropolitan State University of Denver Department of Music and the Latino Cultural Arts Center of Colorado proudly present the 2020 Viva Southwest Mariachi Festival Workshop & Showcase. The event provides workshops for students of all ages; including those in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as university and community participants from Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming. You can buy tickets for the evening concert.

Mariachi is an essential part of the mosaic of American identity.  It unites all people in a fiesta of sound that excites both listeners and participants.  Attendees gain an appreciation of the richness of the Mexican culture and an understanding of history through music.  Musicians and singers gain a sense of enjoyment by learning about the vast repertoire of compositions with lyrics that tell a story of life, love, challenges, and historical figures.
