18º Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi y Charrería
Amigos!As it has become a tradition, this coming month of August, Guadalajara will have the 18º International Encounter of Mariachi and Charrería. This is one great opportunity to actually feel involved know more about our wonderful culture and music. You will not find nothing more vivid and “Mexican” than this festival. Your eyes will be fulfilled with amazing colour work wrought in the traditional folk clothing and you will unquestionably feel stimulated by the transcendental music of the Mariachi.
If you are a rodeo “aficionado” you would not want to miss the competition of Charreria. This is basically a contest to see who the best “Charro” is; competing in different areas, for example; the famous “8 second” bull riding.
This year the festival coordinators and participants will try to achieve a new Guinness Record by having the most number of folk dancers dancing at the same time. Can you imagine that! All this will feel like an interlude for the Pan American Games which will be held here in Guadalajara 2011, by preparing the most beautiful folkloric environment the world has ever seen.
What are you waiting for? Come to Guadalajara and have the time of your life!
