La Santa Cecilia is traveling to Mexico for one of the biggest music festivals in Mexico and Latin America and for the first time band member Jose “Pepe” Carlos is able to join them. He also spoke about their involvement with the Cesar Chavez movie.
Jose "Pepe" Carlos, a DREAMer and part of the Grammy-winning band La Santa Cecilia, will get to perform with them in Mexico for the first time. He previously told BuzzFeed he hadn't been back in 26 years.
Carlos, 31, is an undocumented immigrant and recipient of President Obama’s deferred action for childhood arrivals, which gave deportation relief to young immigrants brought to the country as children.
"I'm super excited to be going with the band, its been seven years that we’ve been together," Carlos said. "The few times we've gotten invited to Mexico, unfortunately I haven’t gotten to go."
Carlos said he's ready to get some authentic food he hasn't had in a long time.
"I'm excited to have some tacos, I'm excited to play and excited to see some family members. Everything, everything. Mexico is a beautiful place," he added.

The band will be at the 15th Vive Latino music festival, one of the largest in Mexico and Latin America.
Reached at the airport, Carlos said the band had already seen the Nine Inch Nails who are also going to be performing.
"Heading to #vivelatino this morning....this is a VERY SPECIAL trip for us because PEPE will FINALLY be able to travel to México and play with us!!! DREAM COME TRUE!!!"
