Two traditional mariachi tunes, Alá en el Rancho Grande and La Adelita, along with a new original, Polka de San Antonio by John Nieto, form a fabulous medley for any happy occasion---any fiesta. As the title (translated The Festival of Strings) indicates, make it a party! In 2/4 and first position with some chromatic alterations, this piece is accessible and fun to play. The rhythmic pulse continues throughout this exciting piece.
