Student leads Furman’s first mariachi band on campus

A new club at Furman University presented its debut concert Wednesday night in an evening of Mexico-inspired music. Six members of Furman’s first mariachi band performed traditional music with vocalists and musicians playing bass, acoustic guitar, trumpet and violin. Sahid Palacios ’25, a music performance major from Texas, spoke to Zach Prelutsky of FOX Carolina about why he introduced the genre to Furman.
