Last night I went to see a The Philarmonic Orchestra of the Americas. The orchestra was founded in 2004 by its director, Alondra de la Parra who is a Mexican. By the reaction of the crowd, she is very popular in Mexico. The last piece they did was Inguesu, which was written by the Mexican composer Enrico Chapela. The piece was inspired by 1999 soccer game Mexico vs. Brazil. So Alondra wore a referee's jersey and part of the orchestra was in Mexican jerseys and part of the orchestra was in Brazilian jerseys. It was a very entertaining piece and the audience seemed to truly enjoy it since soccer is a large part of their culture.
