Today’s Doodle video posted by Google celebrates Mariachi, an important part of Mexico’s musical culture and tradition. So what exactly does Mariachi stand for? A small group of musicians get dressed up in traditional clothing and perform a wide variety of Mexican songs mostly on stringed instruments. Mariachi has received recognition from UNESCO. This particular tradition was born in west-central Mexico around the turn of the 19th century. However, its exact origins remain unknown. The Mariachi genre used to be strictly instrumental. Stringed instruments used to play a key role. Eventually, vocals and the trumpet got added to the mix. These days, Mariachi music is being combined with all sorts of music ranging from jazz to reggae.
