Georgia is a hub for first generation immigrants. For the last two decades, a mariachi band in the Atlanta metro area has been working to bring all people together through music by adapting to the culture of the South. The band is called Mariachi Mexicanisimo, and On Second Thought producer Sean Powers caught a performance at a Mexican restaurant in the town of Lilburn, Georgia.
