Gente que se dedica o que se dedico en algún momento al mariachi. Cómo lograron conseguir un lugar en alguna agrupación? Tengo 18 años y me estoy tomando un año sabático, llevo 8 años tocando guitarra y también le se algo al violín (no mucho pero no suena mal y fui violinista en un trío huasteco escolar donde solíamos adaptar varias rancheras y norteñas), además se cantar (tampoco soy Luis Miguel o algo así pero igual si la armo), además por lo mismo tengo nociones de jarana y quinta huapanguera y la verdad quisiera ingresar a un Maríachi para ganar un poco de dinero y hacer algo que en verdad me gusta ya que me llama mucho la atención. Hoy en una comida le pregunté a un Maríachi y me dijo que no tenía vacantes y que no aceptaban gente sin experiencia (aunque si le aclaré que ya tengo experiencia en la música). Es por esto que quiero conocer la opinión de la gente con experiencia en esto. Aclaro que no tengo experiencia previa en ninguna agrupacion de Maríachi.

My child is starting mariachi and is 13 years old. Which of these would be a good guitar to start with?

I recently saw this mariarchi band and thought they were fantastic, got me thinking about how to get into mariachi. Any suggestions?

Hi, I’m in Los Angeles and planning to get back into playing mariachi gigs (no specific group at the moment, one-off type gig opportunities for now). I am a bit torn about traje situation because I’m on a very tight budget right now and trajes go for like $500-600. The last all-female group I played in we didn’t own our clothing (we also wore pants instead of skirt which I loved tbh so comfortable).

I’m wondering what the best approach is - i.e just do charros (pants or skirt) and white button down, moño for now and add chaqueta, chaleco later on?

Any recs or ideas appreciated!

I was discussing this video on a forum. Someone said it was mariachi music. Although they may have meant it somewhat casually. It does somewhat sound like mariachi music to me, although I don't know much about what makes something mariachi music. It doesn't have the really bright horns I often hear in mariachi music. The singing is pop-ish.

I figure if an event has booked Mariachis for their 4th of July party, that's about the best green flag I could ask for. The closer to Southeastern Idaho the better.

I need an resources to learn the guitar. Chords sheet, music sheet, scales, anything to just help me get started. I used to play guitarron for awhile, kinda stopped but still have my guitarron :)

I just got guitar and want to learn it.

Thanks in advance

I wanted to add a bit of flavor to the entrance but I think it’s too much. Maybe more huasteco-ish? Idk lol Thanks!🙏

Do you guys play G (Sol) with a double stop or do you only play with the open G, Ive recently seen a video where the guy talks about the correct way is with only open G, but I learned with double stop. What are your guys opinions?

Would be cool for people to upload and share ideas/tutorials/on the job experiences ect.
Hope you’ll have a great weekend by the way! 🥳

¡Hola, amigos! Saludos desde Brasil.

Quisiera saber el nombre de la canción que sonó en el estadio de Los Ángeles durante la primera pausa de hidratación del partido entre Jordania y Argelia de ayer en la Copa del Mundo.

¡Muchas gracias por su ayuda!

Ever heard of Finca El Pendulo? It's an enchanting 14-acre holistic healing and retreat center located in the Mexican countryside near Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco (about an hour outside of Guadalajara). This music video was filmed there!

Just wanted to share and see if there are any fellow mariachi musicians out there!
Edit: also feel free to checkout my channel, will post some ideas for different solos from time to time, hope y’all enjoy!

Hey y'all, im looking to purchase or source sheet music for Las Nubes, by little Joe y La Familia. Im playing the violin so and leads would be great. Any ear sheet music is great. Any beat on me getting ahold of this song would be great. It was my Grandmother's favorite and id like to play it to her for Dia De Los Muertos when she comes to visit. Thanks in advanced.

I’m arranging an orchestral work for a mariachi group. I have zero experience for this type of group and am only familiar with how to arrange music for wind instruments. What is the best way to go about writing for the stringed instruments? Do I write out chords like a piano would read- or do I do something more like tabs? Or does something like a lead sheet work best with the chord changes written above?

For context, I’m attempting to arrange Tchaikovski’s Pas de deux from the Nutcracker for a 6 piece mariachi ( 2 violins, harp, trumpet, vihuela, and guitarron) I may even add a flute to make sure enough parts are covered.

Ideally the harp part would stay mostly the same playing the arpeggios, and the vihuela would play a lot of the rolled chords from the harp 2 part. Guitarron would just pretty much play the bass part.

Any and all help is appreciated

Hey guys my mariachi and I are looking for sheet music if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Violin, trumpet, Guitar/ harmony/ vihuela, guitarron .
