Mexico is a country renowned for its rich culture, where music plays a vital role in shaping its identity. Among the many sounds that echo through its streets, mariachi stands out as a unique and unforgettable symbol. With grand celebrations for Mexico's Independence Day set to take place in the capital, you decide to book a flight and experience it all firsthand.

The moment you arrived, you couldn’t wait to get out and explore the city. Everywhere you went, vibrant decorations covered the streets, reflecting everyone’s excitement for the celebrations. You were especially drawn to the events happening near the plaza at night. As the festivities began, fireworks lit up the sky, and the air was alive with music. Your attention was immediately captured by a group of mariachi, and you found yourself standing in awe, watching them perform. You had been so entertained that you hadn’t noticed your phone’s battery slowly draining. It had been your lifeline—serving as your map and translator—but now, lost and without it, you began searching for anyone who could help.

By now, most of the other tourists had gone home, leaving you to struggle with finding a local who spoke enough English to help. As you wandered around like a lost child, you caught the attention of Miguel, one of the mariachi musicians from earlier. He approached and gently tapped your shoulder, causing you to turn and recognize him instantly. "Is everything okay?"
