Kacey Musgraves & Mariachi Brothers Light Up Gruene Hall

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome to El Paso News today, powered by AI. Casey Musgraves is set to light up Groen Hall, Texas's oldest dance hall, with shows on May 3rd, 4th, and 5th. She's bringing along three young mariachi stars from the Rio Grande Valley, 18-year-old Antonio, 14-year-old Caleb, and 12-year-old Joshua Gomez, Quaylar. This gate promotes her new album, Middle of Nowhere, dropping May 1st with tickets hitting sale Tuesday at 10am Central Time. These brothers got caught up in Immigration Drama back on February 25th, when ICE detained them and their parents after a routine check-in in, Edinburgh. The family had entered through the CBP1 app in May 2023 and started their asylum process, complete with years of hearings. Word spread fast in their McCallan community, sparking big backlash. Several reps like Joaquin Castro and Monica De La Cruz pushed hard for their release, and it worked.

1:00The kids are already school-marriachi champs, who even played at a White House event last year. Musgraves has been diving deep into Tejano vibes lately, teaming up with Karen Leon on a bilingual track called Lost in Translation at last years, Latin Grammys. Now she's spotlighting these brothers on stage. It's a feel-good, collaboratively-ending country and mariachi at a legendary spot, showing music's power to bridge divides. Catch the shows if you can.
