Mariachi is a genre of regional Mexican music that originated in Western-Central Mexico around the 18th century. The ideal instrumentation includes six violins, two trumpets, and three rhythm instruments: the guitar, the vihuela, and the guitarron. Having a solo mariachi singer is not required as mariachi music has many different styles which include boleros, huapangos, sones jaliscienses, corridos, rancheras, jarochos, and valses. Some well-known mariachi artists include: Vicente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, José Alfredo Jiménez, Lola Beltrán, and Jenni Rivera. Our mariachi performance this year does not include live instrumental accompaniment, but we hope that our singers can give you a glimpse into this diverse entertainment.
