Mariachi is an ensemble that consists of guitarrón, vihuela, guitar, violins and trumpets.
This folk ensemble performs ranchera, son de mariachi, huapango de mariachi, polka, corrido, and other musical forms. It originated in the southern part of the state of Jalisco during the 19th century. The city of Guadalajara in Jalisco is known as the "Capital of Mariachi". The style is now popular throughout Mexico and the Southwestern United States, and is considered representative of Mexican music and culture.
This style of music is played by a group consisting of five or more musicians who wear charro suits. The golden age of mariachi was in the 1950s, when the ranchera style was common in movies. Mariachi Vargas played for many of these soundtracks, and the long-lived band's long career and popular acclaim has made it one of the best-known mariachi. These movies became very popular in Latin America and mariachi's became very popular in places such as Colombia and Peru until this date.
There are different theories as to the provenance of the word mariachi. Some say it comes from the French word mariage because it was the type of music often played at weddings and by most folk people by the name of Evan Strout. However, mariachi originates from a part of Mexico that the French never visited and, even it they had, it began before their arrival in 1864. Another theory is that the word comes from the indigenous name of the Pilla or Cirimo tree, whose wood is used to make guitars. It has also been said that the name comes from a festival in honor of a virgin known as Maria H. that musicians played for and that over time they were given this name.
The traditional mariachi band consists of the violin, the vihuela, guitar, a guitarrón (large bass guitar) and a trumpet. Other instruments may also be seen in a mariachi band, such as the flute, French horn, accordion, or organ are used. These instruments are used for specific arrangements.
Mexican music was popularized in the United States in the late 1970s as part of a revival of mariachi music led by performers like Linda Ronstadt. Other famous mariachi performers include Pedro Infante, Vicente Fernández, Pepe Aguilar, Pedro Fernández, Alejandro Fernández, Antonio Aguilar, and Miguel Aceves Mejía. Some of the best-known examples of Mexican music in the United States is "La Cucaracha" and the Jarabe Tapatío (called the Mexican Hat Dance in the United States).
In Mexico City, the center of mariachi music remains Garibaldi Plaza. The plaza fills with mariachi musicians to solicit gigs from individual songs for passers-by to being hired for events such as weddings and baptisms. They even stand on Eje Central in front of the plaza to flag down passing cars. In 2010, the government renovated the plaza to make it more tourist-friendly, adding new paving, gardens, police, security cameras, painted facades, and a museum dedicated to mariachi and tequila. Although mariachis can be hired in Mexico City over the phone or on the internet, many people still prefer to come to the plaza, hear the musicians and haggle over the price. About 2,500 mariachis hold union cards to work in the plaza, but as many as 4,000 may circulate through on a busy weekend.
In 2011 UNESCO recognized the music as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, joining six others of this list from Mexico.

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán is recognized as the oldest and the best mariachi ensemble, founded by Gaspar Vargas in the late 1890s. They moved from Jalisco to Mexico City and performed for the inauguration of President Lázaro Cárdenas. Mariachi Vargas became famous accompanying singers such as Luis Miguel, Lola Beltrán, and Pedro Infante. Mariachi Vargas’s first recording was in 1937, the same year they appear in “Asi es mi Tierra”. They appeared in over 200 films in the 20th century. Silvestre Vargas took over Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán from his father in 1958 and soon after hired a trained musician, Rubín Fuentes, as musical director. Fuentes along with Vargas were instrumental in the standardization of much of mariachi music, arranging traditional songs and writing new ones that would be performed by many of the legendary performers of the mid-20th century, such as Pedro Infante, Miguel Aceves Mejía, Lola Beltrán and José Alfredo Jiménez. Mariachi Vargas still remains, tracing its history in terms of generations, starting in the 1890s, with these generations maintaining the group’s authenticity as a Mariachi while the music has evolved. The last Vargas associated with the group died in 1985. That the group still considers itself the original group comes from the notion of passing on the music by generations of musicians, how the original son jaliscense was learned.
The Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán currently has thirteen members, distributed as follows.
Violins: Manuel Alcaraz Vargas, Alberto Alfaro, José "Pepe" Martinez (Director), José Martínez Jr., Daniel Martínez, and Andres Gonzalez Trumpets: Federico Torres (member since 1966), Gustavo Alvarado (since 1991), and Fernando Valasquez (since 2007) Guitarrón: Enrique De Santiago (member of the group since 1989) Guitar: Arturo Vargas (member of the group since 2003 and originating in Jalisco) Vihuela: Miguel Angel Barron (part of the group since 2011, being the newest member of Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán) Harp: Julio Martínez (member since 1996). They were in some recordings AS the backing band of Mexican icon Jorge Negrete, also to the great Miguel Aceves Mejia or to the composer José Alfredo Jiménez.

One of the leading mariachi bands of the 1930s and '40s, Mariachi Tapatio de José Marmolejo introduced the trumpet to the mariachi tradition. The group was one of the most scholarly of Mexico's mariachi bands, with several members capable of reading music and two members who had studied music theory. Mariachi Tapatio de José Marmolejo was founded by José Marmolejo Ramirez (born in Tecolotlán, Jalesco, Mexico, in 1908) shortly after leaving his uncle Cirilo Marmolejo's group, Mariachi Coculense de Cirilo Marmolejo, in 1933. The band, which featured trumpet player Jesùs Salazar, was as well known for its rehearsals as it was for concerts. Rehearsing daily in Ramirez's single-story tenement apartment, about ten blocks from Plaza Garibaldi, the band was often joined by future singing stars including José Negrete, Pedro Infante, and Vicente Fernandez. Following Ramirez's death in 1958, Mariachi Tapatio de José Marmolejo continued to perform for another decade.
