Mariachi de Tempe Attends Chengdu’s 2018 Youth Music Festival

Phoenix Sister Cities, Inc., in partnership with Accent Concerts, arranged for Mariachi de Tempe to participate in Chengdu’s annual Youth Music Festival July 25 to 31, 2018. The group performed two shows: one in Dujiangyan, where they were one of the closing acts – a slot reserved for the most talented performers; and one in Chengdu at Qingbaijiang Cultural and Sports Center.

Members of Mariachi de Tempe, who are Phoenix-area high school students, visited Panda Base; a center for music, calligraphy, and papercutting; and Jinli Street – an ancient street converted into pedestrian-only shopping and restaurants. The group also toured the 2000-year-old irrigation and flood control system in Dujiangyan.
