Dance to your heritage

Elias Ojeda and his cohorts with Mariachi Nuevo Sonido entertain the crowd Monday evening during Fiesta on the Mesa at Fort Lewis College. The event kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 through Oct. 18, and Mexico’s independence day. El Centro, FLC’s Hispanic cultural center, hopes to promote the language through food, music and dance. El Centro will host an event each week through the month.
