Hinojosa was also doing cartwheels at the prospect of meeting fellow performer Ruben Blades there. “I don’t know if he knows about me, but he’s one of my biggest heroes in the music industry. I’ll do my best to elbow my way through the crowds to meet him,” she said with a laugh. Bom in San Antonio to Mexican parents, Hinojosa, 40, grew up the youngestof 13kids. “AssoonasI discovered the guitar at 13, and Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, I was unstoppable” From the nation’s capital Hinojosa will tour the USA and Europe for her album. Dreaming From the Labyrinth, which she describes as a “real interest ing journey... underneath the Mexican soul. I like to get beneath the surface of my culture and not do the obvious beer drinking hooting-and7hollering music. I want to show a little bit of the richer, more intense colors of my heritage.” U.S. Army Sgt. Joel Tejada, an 8 year veteran, traveled from Germany where he is stationed to be sworn-in as a citizen.
