The Latin American mood of the piece is a salute to the population of California, a state which many feel still clearly displays its Mexican roots. The melody and intoxicating rhythm of the music oozes excitement, thus ensuring every single member of your audience will go home in a joyous mood! Fiesta de la Vida werd geschreven in opdracht van de Golden State British Brass Band uit Californië in de VS. Het werk is een eerbetoon aan het leven van John Swain, de oprichter van de band. De Latijns-Amerikaanse sfeer vanhet werk is daarnaast een saluut aan de bevolking van Californië, een staat waar volgens velen nog altijd duidelijk de Mexicaanse oorsprong merkbaar is. De feestelijke latin-stijl is in Fiesta de la Vida volop aanwezig.Die lateinamerikanische Stimmung dieses Stückes ist auch ein Salut an die kalifornische Bevölkerung mexikanischen Ursprungs, der Heimat des Auftraggebers dieses fröhlichen Werkes. Philip Sparke verwendete jedoch keine traditionellen Melodien für Fiesta de La Vida, sondern versuchte einfach nur, das Temperament der Menschen dieser Region in der Sprache der Musik wiederzugeben, was ihm ausgezeichnet gelungen ist! Le caractère latino-américain de la pièce témoigne également du métissage de la population californienne qui puise son identité et ses racines dans les traditions culturelles mexicaines. Néanmoins, aucune mélodie traditionnelle n’apparaît dans le développement. Fiesta de la Vida (“Célébration de la vieâ€) rend hommage la vitalité et l’enthousiasme des habitants par une musique dont les caractéristiques constituent par excellence les festivités de la joie, du bonheur et de la gaieté.

Fiesta!, by Jorge Vargas, captures the spirit of a joyful celebration in Mexico, perhaps in a small town or even a large city. The Latin rhythms evoke the excitement that people feel as they are surrounded by laughter, joy, food, and music. Fiesta! contains many Mexican folk rhythms that are common in mariachi music, which makes this a perfect piece to introduce your students to the music of Mexico. (2:05).
