Mariachi Las Olas Principal Harpist, Fiesta 2016

PIG ROAST

Also at this venue, Tony Ybarra's band. They were phenomenal!

HORSE PARADE

Maya tapped her fingers pensively on the table glaring down at the scrabble tiles.

Little did she know I was driving her jalopy through a horse parade, transporting a harp, marimba, and mariachi band.

GARDEN COURT

These folks sure know how to party! The dance floor buzzed like a hive. A fancy footed flamenco fellow swirled a woman's wheelchair in tight circles as he furiously stomped to the beat.

We finished playing and the crowd roared for more inciting a three song encore...otro, otro, otro.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

I sat with the band in ready position waiting for the birthday girl to arrive as a woman tapped me on the shoulder. "Are you sure your at the right place? I think you must belong at that wedding on the other side of the park."

It was then that I began to see the essentiality of getting a traditional mariachi costume.
