 Entry on the word mariachi from The Latino Encyclopedia
The mariachi is native to a region of western Mexico that includes what are today the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Michoacan, and Colima; extending as far north as Sinaloa and Durango and as far south as Guerrero.
Mariachis documented during the second half of the nineteenth century in central western Mexico were commonly associated with the rural fiesta or fandango, and with the tarima or wooden platform upon which couples would dance sones and jarabes, the two most important genres of the early mariachi repertory [see related entries].
Although mariachis had performed for official functions under Porfirio Diaz in 1905 and in 1907, it was not until after the Revolution of 1910 that the mariachi became widely adopted as a symbol of nationalism.

The story of the mariachi, especially its development before the twentieth century, is sketchy but by piecing together various bits of information from historical records we can say that mariachis probably first appeared in the late 1700s as regional music groups in the small towns of Jalisco, Mexico.

It was once thought that the word Mariachi originated from the French word "mariage" (for "wedding" or "marriage") in the 19th century.
However, the most recent and best evidence suggests that the term "Mariachi" predates the arrival of the French in Mexico and it may be older than originally suspected.
The modern Mariachi ensemble, however, has more recent roots, perhaps as late as the end of the 19th century.

 Mariachi
Mariachi – a term of uncertain origin that applies generally to the ensembles, the individual musicians, the music and the style – budded from the orchestral groups of theater productions during Spanish colonial times in Mexico.
Mariachi issued from the soul of Mexico like jazz emerged from the spirit of the U. The mariachi phenomenon rode the wave of immigration from Mexico into the desert Southwest during the 20th century, appearing early in Los Angeles, Tucson, San Antonio and other cities with large Hispanic populations.
In the earliest mariachi groups – typically an ensemble of four – two musicians played violins; one played a small harp—the arpa mariachera, or the mariachi harp; the fourth played a small convex-backed, five-string guitar, the vihuela.
