In-Person Again: 2021 BU Global Music Festival

The all-female Veronica Robles Mariachi Quartet was among the vibrant performers at the fourth annual BU Global Music Festival on September 18. Because of COVID, the performances were outdoors, at the BU Beach and on Marsh Plaza, “a silver lining” to the event, according to CFA’s Marie Abé, festival artistic director. Abé sought to showcase female voices this year. The Robles quartet, an authentic representative of Mexican music and culture, is based in East Boston. Photo by David Green
