A summer program led by Hernandez uses mariachi to transmit Spanish culture to youths. In vocal classes two volunteers improvise songs while Hernandez reenforces emotion, and a 10-year-old attempts a bravado lyric in Spanish but laughs at the moment. Participants face the challenge of singing in a non-native language as they gain exposure to Spanish.
The article explains mariachi as a Mexican music form using instruments like violins, trumpets, guitar, vihuela, guitarrón, and harp. It discusses cultural preservation amid Spanish speaking declines among Latinos, quotes students and teachers, and highlights emotional engagement with the genre.
Jose Hernandez built outreach to foster female mariachi, attracting girls who lacked role models. He formed Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles, an award winning group, to perform with summer institute participants. About half of the students learning from Hernandez are now young women.
Nguyen, part of Camp Pendleton Wounded Warrior Battalion, used photography to express trauma from three deployments. He won first place at Torch 1975’s veterans art contest held August 5 at The Point Restaurant in Dana Point, with 25 artists participating and ten awards including cash prizes.
Experts estimate PTSD affects about 11 to 20 percent of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and up to 10 percent of Gulf War veterans. Vietnam veterans show about 30 percent affected. Data drawn from the U S Department of Veterans Affairs.
A photo by Nguyen titled Far From Home shows a man in combat gear beside a woman and child, symbolizing veterans’ challenges after returning from overseas. VA data highlight rising suicide rates among under 30 veterans, tied to PTSD and reintegration. A Second image, Selfie, by Marine Gunnery Sgt Richard Luna, hints at self medication. Art programs at Saddleback College aid healing and civilian understanding through veteran-led therapy.
The American Art Therapy Association notes art enables veterans to express hard feelings and memories, reduces anxiety and mood disorders linked to PTSD, externalizes trauma, verbalizes memories, and reactivates positive emotions, self-worth, and self-esteem.
