As part of the programme of celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of the country’s Independence, the Ministry of Education and the Embassy of Mexico organised the first tour to Guyana by Internacional Mariachi Agave, one of Mexico’s most prestigious groups in the area of traditional music.
A release from GINA said that on May 27th, the music band held a Golden Jubilee commemorative concert before a packed-to-capacity National Cultural Centre in Georgetown. President David Granger and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo attended the cultural event, a celebration of Guyanese and Mexican heritage.
GINA said that the six-member Mariachi band performed 14 songs during the free-admission two-hour concert.
