The concert also celebrates a meaningful connection to OLLU. The late Belle Ortiz, who co-founded Mariachi Campanas de América with her husband, Juan Ortiez, was a 1971 OLLU graduate. Known as the “Godmother of Mariachi,” she championed mariachi education and helped generations of students connect with their cultural heritage through music.
