Silva said, “‘Fiesta Folklórica’ is a celebration of Mexican culture through music and traditional dancing. Each year, we aim to showcase dances from different regions of Mexico and its unique diversity from one another. Mariachi de Humboldt will also be showcasing various styles of Mexican music as well. Not only is this concert for our campus, but this concert is for our community. Especially during these uncertain times, we want a space for all to come and celebrate our cultural heritage.
“Representation and preserving Mexican culture is even more needed with so much going on in the world. We are telling stories through dancing and music. These stories represent our ancestors’ ceremonies, historical events, animals native to the region and courtship,” she said.
