Hispanic Heritage Month: UH's Mariachi Pumas quickly leave an imprint in the Bayou CityThe University of Houston has its own mariachi group where students learn the art and history of music from an award-winning performer and educator. Yeah that will help you pay on that student loan. That is fantastic! I love mariachi music. Love going to restaurants where they perform table to table. Their style fills the air with passion and exhilaration. Such great entertainment! 👏 Just curious how much this guy is getting paid to teach this? I have nothing against learning about it but is it worth the cost of his salary to teach this and charge for it? If he's volunteering, then great.
