Description
Xavier is a prodigy of sorts. He is a part of a family that for four generations has been members of a mariachi band. His great grandfather began the love for the music when he decided to craft his own six string bass guitar. When Xavier was born, he was instantly attracted to watching his great grandfather work in his wood shop and at the age of two his made him a mini two string guitar that forever changed his life and became his best friend. But the music is more than a passion it is a core piece of this family. Xavier's mother was a superwoman who stayed home and cared for the four children while his father led the mariachi band. As soon as Xavier graduated from high school he auditioned and was added as a member of the band, it was his life's dream. But it was in this decision that he learned things about his father that forever changed him. It was if he was learning things about his hero that he didn't want to know but could not ignore. Eventually the guilt of the situation weighed his spirits down and he quit the band. Putting his guitar away, becoming a normal person doing normal things and disconnecting from his father completely. Until the morning of his father's funeral when his mother comes to his home with his guitar and asks him to play a song for his father at the funeral. What Xavier didn't know was that the guilt he held on to for not telling his mother about his father's bad choices were things she already knew and had accepted decades ago. It is a beautiful story of what some families will go through to stay together and the strength and bond between a mother and her son. *Performer will speak Spanish throughout and should be able to sing in Spanish.
