The Mariachi Style

 Mariachi is a subgenre of the Latin music genre that has become so popular in recent years. Unlike other forms of Latin music, most of which come from South America, this comes straight from the heart of Mexico. In fact, Mariachi is acknowledged as the country music of Mexico. Characterized by distinctive rhythms that are produced by a wide variety of instruments and strong vocals from talented vocalists, the Mariachi channel provides a true taste of Mexico. Incorporating music directly from various areas of the country, like redovas, corridos, boleros, and rancheras, you will be able to distinguish the subgenre from other Latin categories quickly and easily.

The Mariachi subgenre initially emerged out of Guadalajara in the ‘70s, although the groups playing that kind of music had been there well before then. The group traditionally features three violins, two trumpets, a vihuela (a high-pitched guitar), a guitarron (acoustic bass), a harp, and a Spanish guitar. These instruments contribute to making the sound so distinctive and also explain the harmonies. However, the composition of the groups varies widely now as a direct result of its move into the mainstream and away from its traditional format.

Mariachi traditionally plays at birthdays, weddings, church festivals, and other similar celebratory functions and events so you can imagine that they provide a positive and happy atmosphere, especially when you have something to be thankful for. However, Mariachi groups can also be used to set a really romantic mood as well and have been used in restaurants to do just that. Early evening is the best time to listen to the Mariachi groups to really be able to appreciate them as a result of the mood created, although the artists are wonderful whenever you listen to them!

Some of the most popular Mariachi artists include Vincente Fernandez, Lucha Villa, Lola Beltran, Juan Valentin, Alejandro Fernandez, Cuco Sanchez, Juan Gabriel, Mariachi sol de México and Mariachi Vargas de Tacalitlan.
