Sones de Mexico Ensemble presents “Fiesta Mexicana,” an interactive concert for kids and their parents, in six special free concerts for the Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks series. Based on our Parents Choice Award-winning album of the same name, the program includes songs, storytelling and interactive games that are delivered in English and Spanish.The performance will be preceded by a mask making workshop at 6 PM.
Join us on a journey through Mexican music and the magic world that surrounds it. Learning about the four sacred elements of nature for the Aztecs: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Enjoy songs about different animals that inhabit the Mexican ecosystem, including the acamaya (a crawfish), the crocodile, the legendary mermaid, a mouse, a buzzard, a duck, and even a cat! Clap to Mexican rhythms and learn the difference between a slow and a fast tempo with the help of Doña Sabina, a 100-year-old special guest.
First and foremost, everyone in the audience will learn how fun it is to play and dance to Mexican music!
