Mariachi is the term for that special brand of music used for festive birthday and marriage celebrations. In a broad sense it is folk music created centuries ago by the fusion of Indian and Spanish races, which now make the upo the majority of the Mexican people.

Tracks collected (canciones recolectadas) in Monterrey, Apatzingán, and Erongarícuaro by Sam Eskin, December 1954, and by Eskin & Cook in Mexico City, 1954.
