Charros y ClásicosFull Circle with Alex TreviñoAlex Treviño's first encounter with mariachi wasn't love at first sight—it was a reluctant step taken at his mother's insistence during his sophomore year of high school.

"I didn't want to join," he recalls, "but after one competition, I was hooked."This transformation from reluctance to passion frames Treviño's remarkable 25-year journey through mariachi performance and education.
