Tonight, I ate a Aculopocos, a local restaurant in downtown, Amarillo Texas. There is where my idea for a blog sparked. Listening to the mariachi band play songs! I've been to birthdays, weddings, and several restaurants that have mariachi bands, and I knew someone in high school who frequently performed in one. Generally, mariachi bands have a couple of trumpets, a guitar, a saxophone, singers, and sometimes more instruments play in as well. Mariachi bands were originated in Mexico, and spread throughout Spanish speaking countries, each of them making their own unique contributions to their bands. Customarily, mariachi bands play upbeat, happy, dancing-type music that boosts people's attitudes. Mariachi musica esta muy bueno, feliz musica.
You are so right - mariachi music does set a party mood! Me gusta the traditional charro costumes,too.
