In this episode of Somos Sunnyside, we hear from Roberto Martinez, the current director of Mariachi Los Diablitos de Sunnyside. Mr. Martinez has had a fruitful career filled with travel and entertainment. After graduating from Sunnyside High School, Mr. Martinez continued his education at the University of Arizona which eventually led him to obtaining a B.A. in Secondary Education. He fell in love with teaching and was an instructor at one of our former middle schools, Chaparral Middle School. His musical talents eventually led him to another amazing opportunity to move to Orlando, Florida to spend 33 years as a member of Mariachi Cobre where he was fortunate to have Disneyworld Resort as one of the many venues to perform in.
