Mariachi

Mariachis: The Mexican Musical Tradition

Mariachi, that iconic Mexican musical group, is one of Mexico’s most emblematic cultural expressions. Originating in the western region of Mexico, it has its roots in the state of Jalisco, where indigenous, Spanish and African influences were blended to shape its distinctive musical style.

Mariachi History and Evolution

Mariachi, with its roots deeply rooted in Mexican history, has evolved over the centuries. Its origins are said to date back to the 18th century in the western region of Mexico, specifically in the state of Jalisco. In its beginnings, they were itinerant musicians who traveled through towns and ranches, bringing with them their joyful and festive music.

As time went on, it expanded and adapted to different regions and cultures of Mexico, incorporating new instruments and musical styles. What began as a local tradition in the countryside soon became a national symbol of Mexican identity. Over the years, this group has stood the test of time, keeping its essence and festive character alive, and becoming an integral part of Mexican culture and celebrations.

It is not just music; it is an integral part of Mexican identity. Its songs, which cover a wide range of themes from love to nostalgia to celebration, resonate in the hearts of Mexicans and have become symbols of national culture. The presence of a mariachi at any event is a guarantee of joy, emotion and tradition.
