What are mariachi bands?
Mariachi bands are groups that specialise in playing traditional mariachi music - traditional Mexican folk music that combines brass and string instruments. Mariachi music itself is a broad term that covers rancheras (traditional Mexican folk songs), boleros, sones (folk dances), and other popular Mexican tunes. Our mariachi bands also offer covers of popular modern songs in traditional mariachi style, just check out their song lists on their profiles or send them a request if you can’t find the song you want. Mariachi bands are popular for everything from weddings to corporate events but they bring an infectious energy wherever they go. Their music is catchy and they often provide very engaging performances where they get the audience involved.
