    Mariachi in Your Studio NATS Conference June 2018 Contact Information Monica Fogelquist 619-888-8821 [email protected] A Brief History of Mariachi Music • Mariachi music originated in the region that encompasses the Mexican states of Jalisco, Michoacán, and Colima • The precursor to the modern mariachi dates back to the late 19th century • With an increase in nationalism, mariachi music is catapulted to the forefront of popular culture as a vehicle to unite all regions of Mexico • The music is featured in radio and film and taken abroad • Original configuration: Either guitarrón or harp as bass instrument, two violins, and vihuela • By the 1950s, the mariachi as we know it today had been established: six violins, two trumpets, guitarrón, vihuela, and guitar. *The flute is not part of the standard instrumentation of the mariachi. Who Should You and Your Students Listen to? • Familiarize yourselves with the following artists. As you listen to them, you will notice that each artist tends to focus more on a certain type of song that the mariachi interprets. o Lucha Reyes o Lola Beltrán o Amalia Mendoza o José Alfredo Jiménez o Jorge Negrete o Pedro Infante o Javier Solís o Miguel Aceves Mejía o Antonio Aguilar o “Charro” Avitia o Vicente Fernández o Juan Gabriel o Aída Cuevas o Beatriz Adriana o Linda Ronstadt o Nydia Rojas o Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán o Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlán o Mariachi Sol de México o Mariachi Reyna de Los Ángeles Important Things to Consider • Language: Studying the Spanish language is critical. The ability to correctly pronounce lyrics is important, but understanding the meaning of the lyrics is what will bring the music to life.
