I have a confession to make: I'm scared of mariachi bands, kind of like some people are scared of clowns. This piece, however, blew me away. It is very well written with wonderful, colorful descriptions of each place that is visited and interviews with members of mariachi bands. Lots of music with history thrown in. I felt like I was there . . . and I wasn't scared! Loved it. I notice that it originally aired on PRI's MarketPlace in 1999. It's been six years . . . it needs to be aired again.
