The last week of March was a time to celebrate music in Presidio and Ojinaga. Seemingly far-flung and remote, there is plentiful talent to to be found in both of our cities, and two recent events gave deserved recognition for this.
On March 26th, Conjunto Primavera celebrated 30 years of making music by staging a free concert for Ojinaga at the Centro Deportiva. Over 15 bands--including The Resonators--lent a helping hand by keeping the concert going 14 hours straight. Congratulations to Conjunto Primavera and thanks for inviting The Resonators to be a part of your celebration.
Two days later, Presidio held its 1st Annual Binational Arts Festival, organized by Laurie Holman, art teacher at Presidio High School. The purpose for the event was to showcase local artistic--both visual and performing--talent. The festival was completely supported by volunteer help, and in the end, was a tremendous success. Without going into great detail, the festival showcased much local talent in the form of artists, dancers, orators, and musicians. Once again, The Resonators were fortunate to be a part of the program and we thank Laurie for inviting us. Thanks also to Muela de Juicio, Porch Overview, Celula Enferma, and the Sergio Villa Group for rocking out all afternoon as well. You guys done good!
We'll see everyone very soon.
The Resonators (aka Los Resoneiros)
