With weddings, quinceñeras, and life’s joyful moments generally canceled, mariachi bands’ calendars have filled with funerals for friends, family members, and even fellow band members. “As the caskets go into the ground, many mariachi bands in California, Texas, Illinois and elsewhere have turned to playing songs of pain and sorrow to ease the passing. Even for the bands used to playing at funerals before the pandemic, the sweep of death has been overwhelming.” – The New York Times
