TUCSON, Ariz. — The beat of Tucson's mariachi community is strong, and many learned their rhythm from a man known as" Dr. V ." He's taught mariachi at Davis Bilingual Magnet School for over 40 years.
His impact goes beyond his work at Davis Bilingual Magnet School. He has a passion for fixing instruments to make sure as many kids could play music as possible. He would donate repaired instruments to mariachi instructors at other schools, including David Membrila. David Membrila's admiration for Dr. V. started when he eventually figured out who was delivering the instruments. Around six years ago, he wanted to honor Dr. V. for his dedication to sharing the beauty of mariachi with all of the Tucson community. So he started the"Dr. V. Project," and started fundraising to be able to build a statue of him.
In order to receive the funds, the community would have to vote for the"Dr. V. Project." Members of the group are asking the community to vote for the project in Ward One's"Budget de la Gente." The link to vote can be found here. Votes must be entered by April 30.
