SUMMARY:Mariachi Herencia de Mexico
DESCRIPTION:The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread\, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. The 2x Latin GRAMMY®-nominated band has issued five chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians. Nuestra Herencia\, their 2017 debut album\, topped the Latin streaming charts and earned the band their first Latin GRAMMY®-nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía and the two-volume series\, Esencia and Esencia\, Vol. 2 issued in 2019 and 2020\, respectively\, charted atop all major streaming platforms and industry charts. In 2022\, Herederos appeared as the band were performing a wildly successful North American tour. Herederos received a 2023 Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album. The young\, virtuosic band is composed of 14 musicians\, ages 18-32\, representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.

SUMMARY:The Drummer Boy of Shiloh
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning singer/songwriter Barry Cloyd portrays Joseph Henry Monroe\, one of the only drummer boys who actually survived the Civil War. Monroe was the first one to enlist in the war from his small town in Iowa (he was 12 years old) and went on to fight in more than 27 major battles including Shiloh\, Corinth\, Sherman’s “March to the Sea” and others. As there were more than 2\,000 songs written about the war during that period\, the arc of the war is presented through the music\, most of it penned by the soldiers themselves. \nBarry has performed this piece many times at a variety of venues including many libraries\, several Chatauquas\, and The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield. Also included are two original songs that tell the story of The Drummer Boy as a set up to the rest of the story. \nThis event is free and open to all. No registration is required. \nFor additional information\, please contact Samantha at samanthah@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 1701.
