 The Artistic Mestizaje - This mural was commissioned by Mexican Heritage from local artist Carlos Perez and is located at San José's famous Mexican Heritage Plaza. It is a visual representation both of Mexico's rich cultural diversity and her visual arts heritage, depicting a history of indigenous, Hispanic and Latino visual arts. Click on the central image to experience the mural's two dimensional representation of this artistic mestizaje (the blending of indigenous and European cultures).  |

For more than 10 years, our Mariachi Youth Program has put bi-lingual instructors in the public schools teaching from a standards-based curriculum that uses a theory-based approach to teach traditional, culturally-specific music. The result is students who are excited about music and excited about learning. Students choose to master the trumpet, violin, guitar, guitarrón or vihuela. All students also receive instruction in voice and ensemble musicianship. The school year culminates in a Son y Tradicíon recital at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, which is open to friends, family, and the greater public.
