mariachis
Sombrero-wearing serenaders
Mariachis are traditional Mexican musical groups, or the musicians who perform in them.
A mariachi ensemble typically features violins, trumpets, and guitars, with performers in distinctive charro suits—fitted jackets, tight pants, and wide-brimmed sombreros.
The music is associated with celebrations, serenades, and Mexican restaurants: The mariachis played "Cielito Lindo" at the wedding.
