About Mariachi

Mariachi is a distinctly Mexican musical tradition. While this style of music originates from colonial Mexico under direct Spanish control, Mariachi has only increased in popularity over time. For Mexicans, Mariachi is a deep symbol of nationalism. According to Wikipedia, mariachi music has become emblematic of Mexican music by appropriating various Mexican regional song forms, experimenting in popular radio programs, appearing in the first Mexican films and performing during presidential campaigns. While relatively little new mariachi music is composed today, mariachi bands remain in demand for social occasions in Mexican and Mexican-American communities.
