Mariachi
Strolling fiesta musicians
Mariachi is a style of Mexican folk music featuring trumpets, violins, guitars, and vocals, typically performed by an ensemble in matching costumes.
The musicians themselves are also called mariachis: We hired a mariachi band for the quinceañera.
The music is associated with celebrations, serenades, and Mexican cultural identity.
