“Día de los Muertos transcends the once a year celebration. It’s a way to honor the dead… celebrate the living,” said Rodríguez, Visionary Cultural Arts Advocate and Creator of MARIACHI USA, a festival that achieved its 25 year milestone at the legendary Hollywood Bowl this year. “Our festival reinforces a positive way of looking at life and death through the many experiences we provide.”
