We had approximately 350 people attend the concert, which is one of the highest attendance numbers for our summer concert series, if not, the highest.” - Maureen Thomsen, Event Coordinator Lauritzen Gardens/Omaha's Botanical Center

After chemistry class, DeAna Lara rushed to after-school drama practice. She cut out early to make her Latin band's rehearsal. They've got a gig coming up.
Thirty minutes later, she headed back to school for her vocal music concert.
By midnight, she was curled up in bed doing geometry story problems.
The 15-year-old Omaha South High School sophomore has one powerful voice. She's the lead singer in Sabor, a Latino band with a small but devoted following at local bars and restaurants.

At age 11, she joined youth Mariachi Las Estrellitas, where she learned how to sing in both Spanish and English.
"I especially love singing songs that have both Spanish and English in them
