About this event
On December 1st & 2nd, ÁNIMO Theatre Company proudly presents "Los Braceros de Buena Vista" at the Oxnard College Performing Arts Center. The story of the Braceros is an important chapter in the history of Ventura County, whose fields and orchards received more of the laborers than in any other county in the United States. In Ventura County today, thousands of families trace their roots to the braceros. Oxnard was home to the Buena Vista Bracero camp, the largest in the nation, which at its peak housed 5,000 workers.
"Los Braceros de Buena Vista" is a mariachi opera set in the 1950s at the height of the Bracero program and highlights the challenges and injustices workers faced in the U.S. The show is a dynamic one-act Mariachi Opera which fuses mariachi music, ballet folklorico, and powerful opera style set pieces.
The music in "Los Braceros de Buena Vista" is performed by Mariachi Águilas de J. Carlos Ozuna one of the premiere mariachi groups in California.
