	HISTORY OF MARIACHI - JALISCO, MEXICO -

		The word mariachi refers to the musicians now commonly seen in restaurants or strolling the streets, dressed in silver studded charro outfits with wide brimmed hats playing a variety of instruments which include violins, guitars, basses, vihuelas (a 5 string guitar) and trumpets.
		The mariachi originated in the southern part of the state of Jalisco sometime in the 19th century.

	History of the Mariachi
		Although the origins of Mariachi music go back hundreds of years, in the form we know it the Mariachi began in the nineteenth century in the Mexican state of Jalisco - according to popular legend, in the town of Cocula.
		The Mariachi was the distinctive version of the Spanish theatrical orchestra of violins, harp and guitars which developed in and around Jalisco.
		The Mariachi is usually positioned strategically on the street beneath the window of the festejada, but the sound of its music echoes through the whole neighborhood.

	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.
		The mariachi's historical uncertainties, however, are further reflected by the mystery surrounding the origins of the word itself.
		International mariachi conferences and workshops were held yearly in San Antonio from the late 1970s until the mid-80s, when a similar conference held in Tucson, Arizona, eclipsed the San Antonio meetings.

		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.
