The current form of mariachi can be traced to the 1800s in the Mexican state of Jalisco
Following the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Mariachi was declared to be Mexico’s national music
The term Mariachi has native roots and perhaps comes from the name of the native wood used to make the platform, on which the dancers danced
The instruments of a complete Mariachi band include: • 6-8 Violins • 2 trumpets • 1 guitar
• 1 Vihuela • 1 Guitarrón • 1 Mexican Folk Harp
