The first song they start off with is called Michelangelo by Astor Pizzolla, with that piece it was such a strong introduction you could hear the silence in the crowd it was astonishing. The second piece they played was a new song they are starting to perform, this was the second time ever playing it, called A fuego lento by Horacio Salgan.

The movie “Bajo la Misma Luna,” in my own opinion, is a wonderful film representing all of the obstacles and sacrifices families have to go through to live in a free and safe environment.

Also jobs available for illegal immigrants are difficult to find as well. All of these things can be very dangerous especially being an illegal immigrant but it could take years to completely become an American citizen so the quickest way is to go illegally which splits families like Carlitos and his

Jews who refused to convert were threatened to be killed. Sometimes when a member of a Jewish family converted, their family would say the Kaddish for them as if they had died. The conversos were not usually treated as Old Christians were.

This lack of broader appreciation could lead us to question the borders we place on others and if it affects situations such as this one. Although she was beloved in San Antonio, Rosita Fernández lacked the world recognition she so truly deserved in that eras tough, masculinist industry of music.

She didn’t seem to be perfectly labeled to just a Mexican musician or a American musician.

Next, there was a harp solo at forte with many crescendos and decrescendos. The full ensemble enters again raising the dynamics to forte before decrescendoing and slowing down to end with a held note and final tone.
