I myself think of a style known as Mariachi. Mariachi originated as a regional style in Jalisco, western Mexico, and grew to international stature, becoming a symbol of Mexican folk music. Today, Mariachi music is in demand both on recordings and in live performance.
Music is an important part of Mexican culture.
Mexicans and their descendants living in areas of the United States have brought their enjoyment of music with them. In many cases, simply the desire to hear music creates the occasion. Musicians perform in restaurants, cafes, night clubs, parks and even on street corners at the request of anyone who will hire them. The sound of the mariachi is unmistakable. It is created by combining violins, trumpets and guitars with two unique stringed instruments, the vihuela and the guitarron.
