Known as "the spirit of Mexico," mariachi has been around from at least the 18th century. This style of music plays a fundamental part in Mexicans' lives, bringing joy and comfort. Most importantly, it brings people together.

Luis Flores has been a mariachi for more than 20 years, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He performs with a group of people he holds as dear as his family. And whenever he takes up his trumpet, he feels he could pass a wonderful energy to other people.
