From Merry-Achi Christmas to Flor de Toloache, mariachi music is alive and thrumming at the Fox Theatre this season.  But did you know just how big of an impact mariachi music and culture has had on our local community, and how influential Tucson has been on the national mariachi scene?  How about the striking, local impact of women on this historically male genre?

Daniel Buckley will explore all of this in an informal chat and story session, taking attendees on a fascinating journey. Stop by the Fox or hop on Zoom for a mid-week, mid-day treat! Register above for more information on live attendance or to receive the zoom link.
