Lucia will be singing with Orquesta Northwest in celebration of Mexican Independence day! The Consulate of Mexico in Seattle, Orquesta Northwest and Town Hall Seattle are excited to share with you the upcoming event, “El Grito” Ceremony. This highly significant Mexican celebration is held annually and carries immense cultural and historical importance. “El Grito” Ceremony is a spirited commemoration of Mexico’s independence and serves as a symbol of Mexican heritage and unity. It takes its name from the famous “Grito de Dolores” (Cry of Dolores), a call to arms that marked the beginning of Mexico’s struggle for independence from Spain in 1810. As we celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico, “El Grito” Ceremony becomes even more significant. It signifies the strong bond between our two nations and highlights the rich cultural exchange that has taken place throughout our shared history. This event showcases the vibrant traditions, music, dances, and flavors of Mexico, offering attendees a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in our diverse culture. It serves as a platform to honor our past, celebrate our present, and embrace our future together. Orquesta Northwest invites you to join us in creating an unforgettable experience that will contribute to the cultural fabric of Seattle and further promote the importance of the U.S.-Mexico friendship.
