*Fiesta!* , by Jorge Vargas, captures the spirit of a joyful celebration in Mexico, perhaps in a small town or even a large city. The Latin rhythms evoke the excitement that people feel as they are surrounded by laughter, joy, food, and music. *Fiesta!* contains many Mexican folk rhythms that are common in mariachi music, which makes this a perfect piece to introduce your students to the music of Mexico.
