11-YEAR-OLD MARIACHI FROM NBA FINALS COMING TO NM

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) An 11-year-old Latino boy whose singing of the national anthem at the NBA Finals set off a barrage of racist tweets, but only convinced him to return and sing it again, is coming to Albuquerque. The New Mexico-based Atrisco Companies announced this week that San Antonio-born Sebastien de la Cruz will be the Guest Performer at this year's Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque concert July 13.

The annual concert at the Sandia Resort and Casino often attracts internationally known mariachi singers and performers.
