The ILS project brought together Mexican and Irish folk music and dance traditions to retell a unique and largely forgotten history of camaraderie between the Irish and the Mexicans circa 1848 in the expansion of the United States. This collaboration was led by Paloma Garcia-Lopez, Ethnomusicologist Victor Pichardo, and Artist Shannon Dunne to tie in students from Irish Tap Club, Ceili Band, the Ballet Folklorico Azul y Oro and Mariachi ND. This is a truly collaborative and exciting cultural experience for the ND community dedicated to the ILS stakeholders and champions here today celebrating the 25th anniversary. - 2:30 PM1hMass: Celebration of Life, Ignacio "Nacho" Lozano Jr., '47ILS 25th anniversary | Basilica of the Sacred Heart
