Paco Ojeda on Music presents another in his lecture series with ‘Viva Mexico’. In his own words, “There is much more to Mexican music than ‘Cielito Lindo’,’Bésame Mucho’, ‘La Bamba’, and other popular Mexican songs, we sometimes force feed our tourists. In this lecture, we will take a close look at Mexico’s rich music history, from the first composers that sailed to America with Spanish conquistadors in the 16th Century, to some of today’s most vibrant contemporary composers.” Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7pm.
