This collection of folk songs from Latin America (Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala) are meant to expand young player's knowledge of music from other cultures or give them pride in the music of their own heritage. The music is mostly in 1st position with only Violin 1 and Violoncello wandering briefly into other positions. Players will use pizzicato and a variety of bowing styles.
