Alert:
Mariachi music emerged from the ranches and small towns of western central Mexico. As Mexico’s population became more and more urban in the twentieth century, so did mariachi music. Mexican radio, recordings, cinema, and television featured mariachi music, and the music spread to all corners of Mexico and beyond. The electronic media and immigration from Mexico has made mariachi music an important form of musical expression in the United States. There are more than 20 major mariachi festivals around the U.S., and mariachi ensembles are found today in the majority of states. With the Washington, DC area as a base, Mariachi Los Amigos has played for a wide variety of events, from weddings, baptisms and quinceañeras, to shopping center promotions, to Presidential state dinners and inaugurations. Whatever the occasion, they play the music they love the most, the “straight-ahead” mariachi sound.
