The Englert Presents Mariachi Herencia De México Live @ The Englert Friday, November 7th @ 7:30 PM | | Mariachi Herencia De México is a youthful rejuvenation of mariachi music.
Simultaneously honoring the past, celebrating the present, and creating the future of maricahi music, Mariachi Herencia de México presents an electrifying and unforgettable night of Mexican music and culture.
UNESCO celebrates mariachi music as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. "Mariachi music is a distinct type of traditional Mexican folk music that combines brass and string instruments. The music is accompanied by a distinctive singing style in its harmonies. It can feel rustic, aged, and inspiring in one moment, whimsical and comical in another," (savethemusic.org). "One of the most distinguishing characteristics of a mariachi band is that several musicians will often play the same instrument. This results in a loud style of music that has a festive feel. Typical instruments in a mariachi band include trumpets, violins, guitars, vihuelas, and guitarróns... And, of course, the singing voice is an integral part of the mariachi sound," (savethemusic.org). | | Family Folk Machine an Iowa City Folk Choir Live @ The Englert, Free + Open to the Public Sunday, November 9th @ 3:00 PM | | Family Folk Machine welcomes people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to sing together.
