SAN ANGELO – In the Mexican culture, two predominate things that stand out, amor and música are closely connected to the third—familia.



When it came time for Mariachi’s Micael Lozano and his fellow Los Caciques to perform one of the most iconic Mexican classics, El Rey, it was dedicated to Micael’s father, Anthony Lozano the Social Media Manager who oversees Los Caciques’ media platform.



Los Caciques and its Director, Rosenda Ramos, and Ezra Ramirez, Assistant Director’s selection of El Rey defined as wise, bold, and courageous, perfectly described those traits in Anthony, also his amor and an exemplary role model to both his familia and the second Mariachi family group. The group also thanked Maricruz Carrales for her significant support.
