Coming up on its sixth annual gathering at the Musco Center for the Arts, the Heartbeat of Mexico will host a weekend full of enriching cultural activities and performances, focused on highlighting various aspects of Mexican culture.
After last year’s event went virtual, the family festival will bring Mexican and Mexican American art and culture to community members in person once again. In association with Latinx staff and faculty, Chapman’s Musco Center is inviting artists and performers from all across Mexico to come and share their heritage with Chapman students and families in the community. In previous years, performances have included Natalia Lafourcade, Mariachi Los Camperos, Alicia Villarreal, Lucille Rivera and Mexican pop duo Jesse and Joy.
With a predominantly white student body, Chapman University is trying its best to expand the Latinx demographic on campus and the surrounding community by carrying out cultural festivals like the Heartbeat of Mexico.
