SUMMARY:The Black Music of Mexico at the 79th Street Renaissance Festival
DESCRIPTION:Sones de México Ensemble\, a two-time Grammy Award-nominated Mexican folk music non-profit organization founded in 1994 and promoter of deep dives into Mexican culture\, presents “The Black Music of Mexico” series. This captivating series explores the presence of African culture in Mexico\, spotlighting the profound influence of Black individuals on the country’s vibrant history and current culture with the aim of finding common ground and promote kinship between Chicago’s Black and Mexican communities. \nThe series transcends the stage to honor the Afro-Mexican population\, a facet often relegated to the sidelines in conversations about Mexico’s ethnic diversity. \nAfrican-influenced styles of Mexican music to be explored include son jarocho\, mariachi\, Chilenas\, and son de artesa. \nWe’re pleased to announce that the 79th Street Renaissance Festival has invited us back to present an abbreviated version of this program. The Festival is located at the intersection of 79th Street and Racine Avenue and presented by the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation. More information is at https://www.gagdc.org/index.html \nFestival hours are 10AM to 8PM. Free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Fiesta Mexicana Family Concert
DESCRIPTION:Fiesta Mexicana is a 45-minute interactive concert for kids and their parents based on an album of the same name. It involves all the musicians of Sones de México Ensemble. The program includes seven or eight songs and a fair amount of storytelling and interactive games between the songs that can be delivered in English or in Spanish. \nThe group embarks on a journey through Mexican music and the magic world that surrounds it. Children begin by learning about the four sacred elements of nature for the Aztecs: Earth\, Wind\, Fire\, and Water. Then they learn songs about different animals that inhabit the Mexican ecosystem\, including the acamaya (a crawfish)\, the crocodile\, the legendary mermaid\, a mouse\, a buzzard\, a duck\, and even a cat! Kids will clap Mexican rhythms and learn the difference between a slow and a fast tempo with the help of Doña Sabina\, a 100-year-old special guest. First and foremost\, everyone in the audience will learn how fun it is to play and dance Mexican music. \nThis event is free and no tickets are required.

SUMMARY:Los San Patricios: The Irish Soldiers of Mexico (Chicago - South Side)
DESCRIPTION:Los San Patricios: The Irish Soldiers of Mexico is a joint concert of Sones de Mexico Ensemble with Sean Cleland and the Irish Music School of Chicago. Get your tickets today at thebeverlyartscenter.com \n\nIn 1846-48\, during the Mexican-American War\, a group of gallant soldiers formed mostly by recent Irish immigrants to the United States\, who called themselves the St. Patrick’s Battalion (Batallón de San Patricio)\, fought alongside Mexico against the U.S. invasion. The San Patricios fought under a green silk flag emblazoned with the Mexican coat of arms\, an image of St. Patrick\, and the words “Erin Go Bragh.” \nTwo highly respected Chicago organizations\, each representing a community with deep immigrant roots\, will share one stage when Mexican folk music group Sones de México Ensemble\, directed by Victor Pichardo and ethnomusicologist Juan Dies\, joins forces with Irish fiddler and director of the Irish Music School of Chicago\, Seán Cleland and the Kilgubbin Ensemble for two Chicago dates: The Irish American Heritage Center of Chicago (North Side)\, and the Beverly Arts Center (South Side). The concert will use the music of fiddles\, harps\, accordions\, foot tapping and voices of Irish jigs and Mexican son. A script by Molly Sturdevant and poetry by Vincent Velázquez will tell the little-known story of Los San Patricios\, the St. Patrick’s Battalion.
