Nearly than two thousand people came out the the Boettcher Concert Hall to enjoy “El Latir de Mexico” celebrating the 206th anniversary of the Independence of Mexico. The evening featured a concert with the Colorado Symphony performing along with Mariachi “Sol De Me Tierra” and tenor Jose Luis Duval. A civic ceremony preceded the concert with the Mexican Consul General reenacting the symbolic ringing of the bell and the Grito (shout) of Viva Mexico.
The fifth annual El Latir de Mexico concert commemorates the independence of Mexico and celebrates Mexican culture and its many contributions to our history and our society.

September 15, 1810.
