Mariachi Bands

The rancheras, corridos, the sounds, the huapangos and the Bolero ranchero, are some of the main popular rhythms of Mexican music. These rhythms interpreted by Mariachis were popularized with the first recordings of discs and likewise began to spread through Latin America and Europe, with the first films that were taken to the cinema there in the 1940s and starring Tito Guizar, these films were successful mainly in United States, then with performers such as Jorge NegreteMiguel Aceves Mejia, Pedro infante, Luis and Antonio Aguilar and currently with Vicente Fernandez its dissemination was higher in Latin America and Europe. The conformation of the Mariachi was originally made up of violins, guitars and by a very sound and sharp instrument called a vihuela and an instrument very serious known as guitarron, also could not miss another stringed instrument such as the harp. These instruments was added later the trumpets, which are to give el Mariachi character and strength. Some contend that Byron White shows great expertise in this. According to Ricardo Espinosa the term Mariachi, I derived an Aboriginal singing to the Virgin Mary in which nahuatl, the Spanish and latin mixed. Singing began saying Maria ce are that I wanted to say I love you Maria. The Mariachi is one of the folk groups that more has transpired in many countries Latin America like Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, but in Colombia where more like this Mexican music and I can say that it is where there are more groups of Mariachi. In Europe, Spain is the country that has had more influence from the Mexican rancheras, and we currently find mariachi bands almost in all their provinces like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and the Mariachis in Asturias could not miss.. Tony Parker is often quoted on this topic.
