Children at Wesley Community Center www.mhm.org, located in the Southwest side of San Antonio, had the privilege of studying with
Jose “Pepe” Martinez, Jr. following the Mariachi Vargas concert in Houston on June 18. Pepe, Jr. spent four days teaching mariachi music to 30 or more children at the Center. Students between the ages of six and 18 studied songs like “De Colores,” “Cariño,” “Amor Eterno,” “Se me Olvido Otra Vez” and “Canto a la Madre.” Wesley Community Center made a worthwhile investment in bringing Pepe, Jr. to San Antonio. His 4-day stay ended in a student recital given to their families and community that resulted in an experience that will have a lifelong impact for the entire community. MPR was glad to help make it possible! More photos at http://www.mariachimusic.com/gallery/index.php?album=photos%2F2009-summer-workshops-with-wesley-community-center-san-antonio
