Musicians carry on Mexican culture
MARIACHI from page 9
ter that offered a Mariachi curricu
lum. While the Cuicacali center
closed shortly after its conception, the
effects are still felt today as it gave rise
to a number of Omaha’s Mariachi
groups, including Mariachi Zapata.
Also promoting the Mariachi
movement in Omaha is the Bellas
Artes Mexicanas, a group whose
focus is on bringing Mariachi festivals
with world-renowned artists to
Omaha. The guest musicians conduct
workshops throughout the week, and
hold a final concert as a finale.
The group’s third annual festival is
set for this summer from July 28-31,
and Gutierrez said it’s that kind of
high profile exposure that has been
piquing the interest of Omaha’s
Hispanic community.
“It’s becoming more visible, so
when kids see Mariachi Zapata per
form it’s something that generally had
not been seen. It’s different, so when
they see other kids play it they think,
‘Wow, I wanna try that,’” Gutierrez
said. “It also appeals to our back
ground so it grows even more.”
The band has no shortage of gigs.
Mariachi Zapata generally plays twice
music with her family and now that
she is a senior citizen, she is glad to
see it return with such abundance.
“My husband and I love to dance,
and that kind of music rekindles
something in you,” Rosales said. “It
awakens our youth in us because the
Mariachi music has a heart in it, and
that heart reaches out to you.”
Hernandez said he was proud to
have helped the Mariachi scene grow
in Omaha and he sees only good
things for the future. He hopes to start
a Mariachi association to pool experi
ence and resources and better orga
nize the Mariachi scene, ultimately
carrying the tradition into the future.
“That’s what it’s about, getting the
youth interested in learning it so some
day they can pass it along.”
a week, regularly landing work at
local restaurants and playing private
parties.
The exposure helps spread the
popularity of the music, while simul
taneously carrying on traditions that
are important to Mariachi music -
keeping both the audience and the
players involved in the spirit and emo
tion of the music itself.
“I play because of the effect it has
on the audiences,” Hernandez said.
“It’s emotional for a lot of people, and
we’ve played to people who’ve started
to cry. Generally artists are looking
for that kind of response, and when
you get it, that’s why you play.”

Juan Diego Community Center in

Lord Byron
brought to
life in play
BYRON from page 9
sion. Each moment uses a variety of
levels and depths, and the way
Behrendt moves the actors is choreo
graphic.
A highlight of this staging occurs
at the beginning of Act II when the
future Lady Byron and Lord Byron
meet for the first time. The ensemble
unites in a circle under a pillar to give
the impression of a temple.
The Lord and Lady Byron’s
dancing flirtation is echoed by their
flight in and around the columns.
Behrendt also uses a movable
bed as a vehicle for the play’s deca
dence and debauchery.
Lord and Lady Byron indulge
themselves amid its fluffy whiteness,
and a passionate clan of admirers
- holds Lord Byron captive in it.
The play’s overriding theme is
Ada’s relationship with her father.
Like many children, Ada hates her
father because she can see herself in
him.
The play’s exploration of this
hatred provides a stark picture of par
ent-child relations.
And amid this struggle is the fas
cinating depiction of one of the
world’s most infamous poets.
By providing a contemporary
representation of this historic figure,
“Childe Byron” avoids becoming a
dry, academic perusal. It portrays
Byron in true form, bringing him to
life more than a century after his
death.
