Rosa subirá al escenario junto a su mamá y tocará con su popular banda de mariachis. Pero mientras abrochan las brillantes botonaduras y se atan los moños de sus trajes charros, Rosa comienza a preocuparse. ¿Y si al público no le gusta su música? ¿Está realmente lista para subirse al escenario? Con su "mamiachi" y sus madrinas a su lado, el miedo escénico de Rosa se desvanece al compás de trompetas, guitarras y violines. El poder de la hermandad, la comunidad y la música, centran el cálido texto escrito por la dupla Jolene y Dakota Gutiérrez. Madre e hijo, junto a la ilustradora Mirelle Ortega, ofrecen una perspectiva única del mundo de los mariachis, tradicionalmente dominado por hombres. El material complementario incluye información sobre la historia de esta tradición mexicana y sobre el surgimiento de mariachis femeninos, además de un glosario, una bibliografía, lecturas adicionales y un vistazo divertido y detallado del traje charro.Mamiachi & Me is a lyrical and empowering picture book written by Jolene and Dakota Gutiérrez and illustrated by Mirelle Ortega, winner of a Pura Belpré Illustrator Honor, about what it means to be a mariachi in an all female band. Today's the day! Rosa will take the stage next to her mami and play along with her popular mariachi band. But as they fasten the shiny botonaduras and tie the moños on their charra suits, Rosa begins to worry. What if the audience doesn't like her? Is she ready to perform? With her "mamiachi" and madrinas by her side, Rosa's stage fright is soothed away by the sound of trumpets, guitars, and violins. Centering on the power of sisterhood, community, and music, the warm and lively text by mother-and-son writing duo Jolene and Dakota Gutiérrez--joined by Mirelle Ortega's beautiful illustrations--provides a unique perspective to the male-dominated world of mariachi. Back matter includes additional context on the history of the beloved Mexican tradition and the rise of all-female mariachi groups, as well as a glossary, a bibliography, further reading, and a fun, detailed look at a mariachi's signature charro suit!
