Day of the Dead, Las Posadas, Cinco de Mayo—no Mexican holiday is complete without mariachi music. Otto captures the history, spirit and essence of this uniquely Mexican art form, a combination of indigenous, European and African elements, which emerged in the 19th century in the state of Jalisco. Students will experience its distinctive rhythms and common themes (love, betrayal, death, politics, revolutionary heroes, even animals) through traditional and popular songs (“La Cucaracha,” “Cielito Lindo” and “La Bamba”) and regional variations like the jarabe and the música norteña. It’s a birthday, anniversary, wedding and the fourth of July all rolled into one!
Tahino
Tahino was founded in 1992 to teach children in Atlanta about the wonderful music and culture of Latin America.
Members Otto Rondon, Mario Luque, and Gustavo Arenas were born in Merida, Venezuela, Mexico City, Mexico, and Girardot, Colombia respectively, and offer a taste of Latin America as they take students on a musical journey featuring contemporary Latin music.
Tahino has been honored for their amazing performances with awards such as Certificate of Appreciation by Georgia State University, Cousins Middle School Certificate of Appreciation, and Salute of Tahino from Georgia Governor Harris and Senate Committee Chair Greene.
The trio will describe how African music, brought to Latin America by slaves, was interwoven with Spanish and French influences to create the complex rhythms of today.
