Mariachi is a type of musical group, originally from Mexico. Usually a mariachi group consists of at least two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a high-pitched, five-string guitar) and one guitarrón (a small-scaled acoustic bass), but sometimes featuring more than twenty musicians. The original Mariachi were Mexican street musicians or buskers. http://www.webster.com/dictionary/mariachi Because of their great popularity many Mariachi are professional entertainers doing paid gigs in the mainstream entertainment industry.
Origins
Mariachi music as we know it today originated in the Mexican state of Jalisco, according to popular legend in the town of Cocula, in the 19th century. The mariachi was the distinctive version of the Spanish theatrical orchestra of violins, harp and guitars which developed in and around Jalisco. By the end of the nineteenth century, the vihuela, two violins, and the guitarrón, which had replaced the harp, were the instruments of the mariachi.
