The Mariachi Sol Azteca ensemble sings traditional Mexican folk songs of love, betrayal, death and revolutionary heroes. They're a big group of musicians and they bring a wall of sound that is simultaneously built to bowl the listener over and draw the listener in with subtle detail and virtuosic playing. It's worth experiencing. The ensemble performed at the Museum of Northern Arizona's 13th Annual Celebraciones de la Gente, a Day of the Dead celebration like no other. It happens every October and if you're near Flagstaff at that time of year you should stop by the museum for fine art and unique crafts, music and dancing, colorful and elaborate ofrendas (altars), heritage programs and Day of the Dead inspired crafts for kids.
