Don't Miss It!
Flor de Toloache mariachi band
It's a different twist on flower power when the all-woman mariachi group Flor de Toloache makes fresh sounds bloom from tradition. When ingested, toloache can cause falling in love, the belief holds. Maybe when heard as well, the critics seem to think. The charm of the season also will bring holiday festivities, dance concerts, tubas and jazz. Don't Miss It!
This will be the last Don't Miss It! of 2018. Purdue Today looks forward to resuming this feature on Jan. 7, the first day of spring semester.
