"I feel blessed to be part of the Mariachi community in LA, and can’t wait to continue to develop this body of work to continue highlighting such musicians. Given the current situation affecting our community, I feel more proud about my work than ever."

Photograph by Josefina Guadalupe Cota Chavez. A female mariachi, wearing typical mariachi costume that includes a large sombrero, a black suit, and a large red bow around the neck, holds her trumpet in manicured hands, looking down so the only visible part of her face is her red lips peeking from the embroidered brim of her hat. Behind her is a mural of a woman looking upward.
