Musical Memories: The Mariachi Paredes de Tejastitlán

A free concert series providing a mid-day arts break occurring on select Fridays in the semester from 12-1pm in the NHB 5th floor atrium.

The University of Texas Mariachi, known as The Mariachi Paredes de Tejastitlán, was founded in 1977. It was named in honor of Dr. Américo Paredes (1916-99), a seminal figure in the history of border studies, Mexican American studies and the post-modern movement in anthropology.  The Mariachi are directed by Greg Cavazos Assistant Professor of Practice in Music and Human Learning at the UT Butler School of Music.
