The North Carolina Symphony is about to get a mariachi makeover. This weekend, the organization's Pops series presents "Fiesta Latina," a production that highlights some important musical contributions from Mexican culture. On the bill is Mariachi Cobre, a 12-piece band that is well-known for their long-running show at The EPCOT Center's Mexico Pavilion. Bandleader Randy Carrillo and Scott Freck of the NC Symphony join host Frank Stasio to talk about the Latin-inspired concert.
