  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mauro Calderon for his 
dedication and passion in sharing Mexican cultural traditions with the 
world. Mr. Calderon has done this through a voluminous body of musical 
and artistic work that transcends genres and touches the lives of 
people all over the world. Twenty years of traversing the globe has 
gifted Mr. Calderon with unique experiences and insights that leave an 
indelible imprint on his music which resonates with all those who have 
the pleasure of listening.
  Though his career has taken him far, Mr. Calderon has never forgotten 
those who have

come before him and offered him instruction and advice when he was just 
beginning his lifelong journey in music back in 1983. Now 35 years 
later, Mr. Calderon has taken those lessons and turned them into a 
successful musical career working with renowned artists and being 
recognized with numerous awards along the way. One such award that was 
especially fitting was his recognition as ``Ambassador of Mexican Music 
in the World'' after a successful tour in Japan.
  I know the impact music has in solidifying cultural identity--by 
bridging generational gaps and expressing a community--and Mr. Calderon 
has worked effortlessly to enshrine the Mexican cultural identity in 
song. For this reason, I am honored to recognize the accomplishments 
and career of Mauro Calderon.
