The Mariachi Academy of New York had a mothers day celebration yesterday at St. Paul’s Church on 117th Street. It was a lot of fun, with mixed performances by the students of MANY, students from a ballet folklorico school, a performance by a dance group called Los Tecuanes de Acatlan, which was amazing, and lots of Mexican food (best mole tamales EVER)… The students performed together and then some where selected to perform individually with a professional Mariachi group. I really enjoyed attending this event, it made me miss living in Mexico, but also made me appreciate the people who organize events such as these, to make all of us exports feel a little more at home.
