Brasil Documentaries on Music: Mariachi High – Screening

Tuesday evenings at Brasil bring a new documentary on music.

Tuesday, July 5 at 8:30pm featuring Mariachi High.

In this spirited coming-of-age story, college-bound Latino high school students compete to be the state’s champion Mariachi band while experiencing the trials and triumphs shared by all American teens.

From nerve-racking band auditions to the thrill of the 2010 Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza in San Antonio, graduation and beyond, MARIACHI HIGH provides much-needed affirmative screen time for teens who are inspired by cultural pride and striving for excellence.

Also in attendance will be Multicultural Education & Counseling through the Arts (MECA) – Houston’s premiere mariachi insitution, to talk about what the mariachi community has evolved from on a local level.

Arrive early, dine, and stay for the conversation!
