Que Caramba es la Vida

Women hold their own as mariachi musicians.

  • Director: Doris Dörrie
  • Type: Documentaries
  • Year: 2015
  • Country: Mexico
  • Language: Spanish
  • Length: 86 minutes

Mariachi, an essential part of Mexican culture, is more than just music; it is a lifestyle that views the world from a macho perspective. The business is tough and women are seldom appreciated in this strictly male domain. Nevertheless, a handful of female musicians choose to be Mariachi and when the Mariachi women sing about death, love, and poverty, the heavy issues of everyday life in Mexico City appear slightly more bearable.

Date: Sunday, February 8, 12:00PM 
Location: Lehman Auditorium, 202 Altschul

Filmmaker Doris Dörrie will join the audience following the screening.
