"The Gamez-Cuellar brothers, Antonio, Caleb, and Joshua, will join Kacey Musgraves for performances at Gruene Hall from May 3 to 5, coinciding with Cinco de Mayo."
"The family's detention by ICE drew national attention, especially after the brothers' mariachi ensemble won a state competition and visited Washington DC."
"The Department of Homeland Security stated that the family was living in the country without legal permission, while the boys' father claimed they entered on an asylum claim."
The Gamez-Cuellar brothers, aged 12 to 18, will perform with Kacey Musgraves in Texas after being detained by ICE in February. Their detention sparked bipartisan backlash, leading to their release. The brothers had previously gained recognition for their mariachi ensemble's success, which included a visit to Washington DC. They entered the US seeking asylum from cartel threats in Mexico. Musgraves' announcement coincides with Cinco de Mayo, a significant holiday celebrating Mexican heritage, further emphasizing the cultural importance of their performance.
