mariachi band

Sombreros and trumpets

A mariachi band is a traditional Mexican musical ensemble featuring violins, trumpets, and guitars, typically wearing ornate charro suits with silver buttons.

Mariachi bands play at celebrations, restaurants, and festivals, often performing corridos, rancheras, and romantic serenades: We hired a mariachi band for the quinceañera.
