According to singer Patti Malcolm, there will also be a special appearance by soprano Stella Maris Jurado, orator Flavia Valle, MC Jacobo Paz and direct from Guadalajara, tenor Alejandro Vargas.

Malcolm said Vargas' latest recording is an "album with the prestigious Mariachi Vargas de Tecatitlan backing him up. Vargas has been performing in several venues in Mexico promoting this material which gives the ranchera style music a higher level of performance. Even though he has a tenor voice, he prefers to sing 'la Musica bravia' and huapangos."

She added that Mauricio Guizar was "born in the midst of great artistry as the grandson of the late Tito Guizar, international singer and movie star. Mauricio Guizar naturally followed his grandfather's foot steps and pursued an acting career In Mexico, where he has appeared in soap operas."

In addition, there will also be a "Cuadro folklorico" with the Mexicapan dancers and Mariachi Internacional. Musical arrangements and accompaniment for all singers will be by Jorge Infante and Mariachi Internacional.

The show is at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 31. Tickets are $25 for the event at the Instituto de Mexico Auditorium, 600 Hemisfair Park. Proceeds benefit the Proart Interlatin USA Educational & Community Outreach Annual Cultural Program.
