From Tucson, New York, Los Angeles and other cities even beyond our northern border, this week’s selection shares a vision of a the Mexican side of this immigrant nation, and celebrates its musical contribution to the culture. We also share a wonderful conversation we had at Mundial Montreal 2016 with the Villalobos Brothers, a trio of virtuoso violinist brothers from Xalapa, Veracruz who are now based in New York. Luis, Alberto and Ernesto share how their experiences have shaped a joyous music that they now use to build cultural bridges this side of the Rio Grande. Happy 5 de mayo!
