NotesSubject Note: The Mariachi Academy of New England teaches music related to Mexican mariachi – a range of instruments, vocal techniques, and songs. Several musicians from Mariachi Mexico Antiguo in Las Vegas had visited Connecticut several times to teach mariachi music at a new academy for young students, developed in Wallingford’s Mexican community by Evangeline Mendoza. The success of this venture, and the founder’s retirement, led members of the group to move to Connecticut from Las Vegas in 2016 to lead the school. The Academy continues under the directorship of experienced mariachi musician Adam Romo, with classes in several Connecticut towns. Several performing ensembles comprised of the students perform across Connecticut and the region. They present annual public concerts to showcase their learning.
Additional audio, video, and photographic materials exist in the archive relating to these artists.
