Entry on the word mariachi
from The Latino Encyclopedia.
(New York: Marshall Cavendish Corp, 1996)
Article by Jonathan D. Clark
MARIACHI

(1) A specific type of Mexican musical group or ensemble. (2) An individual musician in a mariachi group (synonym: mariachero). (3) An adjective denoting a genre or style related to the mariachi, e.g., mariachi music, mariachi trumpet. Since the 1930s, the mariachi has been widely considered the quintessential Mexican folk-derived musical ensemble, and has become an institution symbolic of Mexican music and culture. Mariachi groups are currently found throughout the Americas and in Europe.
