The 2nd through 5th graders performed a special arrangement by their talented music teacher, Mr. Cook, of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va." Their awesome performance caught the attention of a very important person.
-Oye cómo va mi ritmo.
-That is Mari Keiko Gonzalez, a talented filmmaker behind Mambo Legends: The Music Never Ends having her very own jam session with the Brass Bell band.
She saw our video and was so impressed, she wanted to meet these amazing students.
Miss Gonzales was in town working on another big project with a Vegas headliner.
But even with her busy schedule, she made time to visit with the students.
They watched a bit of the documentary together and had a Q & A session.
(Mari Keiko Gonzalez) Do you want to continue playing?
Does everybody want to continue playing music?
Yeah, that's fun.
You can do so many things with music.
So many different things in your life, not just-- you can be in an orchestra, you can be in a band, but they're all a lot of different jobs that you wouldn't think, you know, that you could do.
Like you can score things for movies, for like your TV shows.
-What a special moment!
The students even did an impromptu performance for Miss Gonzalez and got to facetime with one of the musicians featured in the film.
They say music is a universal language for a reason.
Now it's your turn to join our Vegas PBS Latin Jazz Jam Session.
