      The article looks at how the mariachi musicians in Los Angeles, California are keeping Latin music alive even in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to their culture. Topics discussed include the significance of the Mariachi Plaza for mariachis, the community of immigrants who hire mariachi groups, and the decline in the number of radio stations that air mariachi music.
