“The Treasure” Laura Leon thanks because her album was a hit. Thank you, my precious! For everything, I own to you and to the God who helped me so much in my career.

Mexico City, 2008

I’m infinitely grateful to Saint Anthony of Padua for giving me the talent of singing. Thanks to my beautiful voice and my serenades, I made my pretty Rosita fall in love with me. She is a very romantic person, and she loves when I’m singing under her balcony.

The music is a very important to our family, and it’s with us every day. Even our animals enjoy the music, and there are more singing birds in our garden than in any other. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for all this harmony and because my children are also good musicians.

Rosa Maria and Teresita Robledo thank Saint Cecily because they have had a big success with their flamenco concerts and they have become famous in many states.

Vicente Gutierrez offers this retablo to Saint Patrick thanking him because he went to Las Vegas and won the ticket to an Elvis’ concert.

Carlos Magaña, a sax player, thanks the Virgin of San Juan because his job gives him good money and every woman in the building where he lives is crazy about him and his music.

I thank Saint Pancras for protection me every November 2, because that night my bar is filled with the souls of the dead of the town. They come very cheerful to celebrate their Feast with music and mezcal.

I thank my dear Saint Dominic for giving me courage to decide on a sex change and to perform french songs with my guitar. Now I’m going on a tour to Mexico and the north of Guatemala.

When my husband went to work at the north, I felt very lonely and started to play guitar outside at night. Little by little my music attracted all the cats from our neighborhood. They came to listen me, and they were captivated by my music. My music affected not only the cats. Out of nowhere every time came the little boy and started to play his flute. And when he finished he went away without saying anything. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this big company I have now.

Gilberto Carrasco thanks Saint James with this retablo because he managed to buy rare albums of the Beatles at an auction. So he enriched his collection of his favorite band.

All the fellows from my band died in an accident. Then their skeletons began to visit me and play instruments in my room because they were jealous that I am alive. I prayed for their souls to the Virgin of Guadalupe and she made them rest in peace. So I finally can sleep also in peace.

The mariachi “Voices of Mexico” dedicate this humble retablo, with great faith and devotion, to Saint Cecily for having a lot of work because the tourists who came to the Garibaldi Sq. are very fond of their music and hire them to brighten up their Mexican nights.

I thank the Virgin of San Juan because all my daughters inherited my ear for music, the passion and the ability to learn to play various instruments with ease.
