Though Christmas music has its nay-sayers, complaints about Christmas music are sometimes more tiring than the Christmas music itself. What’s the problem with classically constructed, fun pop songs that we save for three-to-six weeks of the year? I have a feeling Jose Hernandez, leader of the three time Grammy nominated mariachi group Sol de Mexico, would agree with me. This weekend, Hernandez’s thirteen piece ensemble gives two performances of classic Christmas Music this Saturday, full of rich arrangements and the liveliness of a full mariachi band.
