Music Fiesta in June

Can't Post | Private Reply

We are having a great June in Mazatlan! A very musical weekend in Olas Altas has successfully been completed with many folks out and about tipping a few and enjoying themselves. My favorite was the Reggae band playing near the Arts Museum, but the other I liked almost as much was set up along in front of the ocean near the restaurant Copa de Leche.

For more info on what is happening in Mazatlan in the Arts and Music department:

You might want to also check out this site:

www.openstudiomazatlan.com

Open Studios 2005 is just getting under way, and after last year's very successful Tour I think the 2005 Tour will be fantastic. Local Mazatlán artists are putting on quite a show this year. A new gallery opened just last Saturday night.

The above website will be linked to local artist's studios and ongoing events. Many local businesses are helping to support the growing art movement in Mazatlán.

The Spanish version of the site will also be available shortly.

Yes, Marlene, wasn't the Dia de la Musica great? (It actually was 2 dias, started Friday night but I was at the special performance by the Symphony in the Cathedral then, and attended only on Saturday night). For those who weren't there, sound stages were set up in 5 locations between Plazuela Machado and Olas Altas beach, and one hour performances took place at each one from about 7PM to 1AM. Every kind of music imaginable, jazz, classical, mariachi, reggae, banda sinaloense, hip hop, you name it, and all free! I missed the reggae at the Art Museum stage, which I would have loved, because my friends weren't interested in leaving the general area of the Plazuela. The Coro (chorus) Angela Peralta was wonderful as always, and so were the mariachis. I caught the banda on my way home, didn't stay but I like banda from a distance and it is enjoyable a block or 2 away!
There has been so much music going on here lately, almost as much this month as our regular music season October through December. Last night I went to a performance of the comic opera Don Pasquale at the Teatro. Great! Just one reason I love Maz. Dee

Mazatlan's Loss, Patzcuaro's Gain

Can't Post | Private Reply

Mazatlán is losing one of it's well-known and world famed artist/cartoonists to the hills of Patzcuaro after returning a few short years ago to Mazatlán following 30 years in England. Our arts community (to say nothing of the local ace domino players society) will miss him greatly. My husband and I will miss two good friends. One of the daily newspapers will miss publishing his great morning political cartoon feature. Mazatlán's loss is Patzcuaro's gain so please welcome my friends Sergio Navarro and his wife, Sandie Alden.
