| | Introduction to Mariachi Music |
| | Typically, a guitar is used in a mariachi band about 98 percent of the time. | | | Mariachi song forms (such as the bolero, canción ranchera, son, huapango, joropo, and danzón) are always dictated by the rhythmic patterns that are performed by the guitar section of the group. | | | The performance of mariachi music also requires that the students perform a variety of song forms (the canción ranchera, bolero, son, and the huapango) as well as perform on instruments, sing solo songs, and sing in a chorus. |

| | Mariachi music has roots in Spanish music, with its guitars and horns, according to Maldonado, harpist for the Fontana, Calif.-based band. | | | The typical mariachi band consists of six violins, two trumpets, one guitar, one Mexican folk harp, a bass guitar and a Mexican guitar known as a vihuela, said Santiago Maldonado of Mariachi Imperial. | | | These are the deep-voiced bass guitar, known as a guitarron; the vihuela, a high-pitched, round-backed guitar that helps give mariachi music its unique vitality, and the harp, Maldonado said. |

| | Mariachi |
| | Mariachi music reached a pinnacle in 1988, when the well-known performer Linda Ronstadt, called on her Hispanic roots to produce the album Canciones de Mi Padre (Songs of My Father). | | | The mariachis perform the sones, or songs, of various regions across Mexico; the ballet folklorico music of various regions; and dance melodies called jarabe, huapango, danzon and cumbia. | | | Mariachi – a term of uncertain origin that applies generally to the ensembles, the individual musicians, the music and the style – budded from the orchestral groups of theater productions during Spanish colonial times in Mexico. |

| | A complete mariachi group includes six to eight violins, a guitar, and two trumpets, along with Mexican variations on the instruments: a round-backed guitar for catchy rhythm, a deep-voiced guitar for bass, and a Mexican folk harp for both bass and melody. | | | Mariachi music got its start as pure folk music and included several instruments brought over from Spain in the 16th century. | | | "Mariachi music takes skill and study and practice," says Jeff Nevin, the leader of Mariachi Champaña Nevín and an assistant professor of music at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Calif.

| | Adapting somewhat to the influence of the emerging Jazz and Cuban musical styles, they further revolutionized the Mariachi musical form with the adoption of the trumpet into the standard ensemble in the 1950's which now included 6-8 violins, a guitarrón, a vihuela, a guitar, and two trumpets (and occasionally the harp as well). | | | One theory is that it comes from the name of the wood used to make the platform on which the performers danced to the music of the village musicians. | | | Together, Vargas and Fuentes went on to define the foundation of the Mariachi style by standardizing musical arrangements for many of the popular sones and insisting on the use of written music. |

| | Review: El Mariachi |
| | The title character of El Mariachi is the mariachi (Carlos Gallardo), an itinerant musician who goes from town to town in Mexico looking for a new place to play his music. | | | No one except Roco has seen Azul, so the description of the escaped criminal is sparse: he dresses in black and carries a guitar case (which, instead of containing a musical instrument, has a selection of knives and guns). | | | Until then, El Mariachi is an excellent introduction to the talent of Robert Rodriguez. |
