A first of its kind! A never before seen summary of the mariachi from its origin in the 18th Century, to the modern mariachi and its ample recognition abroad. Product of twenty-five years of historical and field investigation, this work reveals the myths about the mariachi's origins and its roots, and explains why it became Mexico's musical symbol and an element of identity for Mexicans and Latin Americans. Description in Spanish: El libro sobre el mariachi que hacÃa falta, con más de trescientas imágenes documentales. Esta es la primera sÃntesis del mariachi desde sus orÃgenes en el siglo XVIII hasta el mariachi moderno con trompeta y su amplia difusión en el extranjero. Producto de veinticinco años de investigación de campo e histórica, esta obra desvela los mitos sobre el origen y la etimologÃa del mariachi y explica por qué se convirtió en sÃmbolo musical de México y en elemento de identidad para los latinoamericanos, chicanos y mexico-americanos.

Total Mariachi!,

This review is from: El Mariachi. Simbolo musical de Mexico (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This is a complete sourcebook if you are interested in Mexican Mariachi. Everything is covered, from the early roots to contemporary work. It is richly illustrated and beautifully bound, a centerpiece for any library. As far as I know it hasn't been issued in English yet, but if you want to know Mariachi music, you really should learn Spanish anyway!

El Mariachi,

This review is from: El Mariachi. Simbolo musical de Mexico (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful history of the mariachi and obviously the culmination of years of research by the author. It is a concise, interesting historical text with many vintage photos, posters, and paintings of mariachi groups. I think it is worth the price for the photos alone. And, it's less expensive on Amazon than in the Gandhi bookstore in Mexico City!
It is written in Spanish, so it's also very good for learners of Spanish who would like to work on their language skills. For ethnomusicologists, fans of mariachi, and people interested in Mexican culture, I would give this book the highest possible recommendation. It's the only book of it's kind, and a first class effort.
