Web exclusive: Mariachi started in the late 1800s when Mexican musicians began adopting European instruments, like the violin, guitar, trumpet and accordion. But when Linda Ronstadt's 1987 album of songs she heard her Mexican father sing became a smash, mariachi went mainstream. Today, high school students across Texas practice this form of folkloric music that transcends the U.S.-Mexico border. Correspondent Barry Petersen talked to some of the young musicians who came to Edinburg in southwest Texas, where 70 bands participated in the 2019 State Mariachi Festival, which became a state-sanctioned competition for the first time.

I grew up in the Midwest...when I was a kid in the 60's my dad use to take us this restaurant that had a GREAT Mariachi band ! They didn't roam from table to table, they played on a stage and people watched... I fell in love with the music then (4 or 5 yrs old) and I still love it... It's a great kind of music to see live....!

I love Mariachi music! There is also the Mariachi Vargas competition each December here in San Antonio Texas.

Ronstadt's "Canciones de mi Padre" was a breathtaking landmark album - the live shows even better. Many schools and youth programs now teach this gorgeous music. Beautiful people. Beautiful music.

My Mother loved Mariachi music and we learned to love it too! My sisters would serenade her on her birthday by hiring a local Mariachi band to play "Las Mananitas" which is the traditional birthday song and is a wonderful tribute to Moms. We hired a Mariachi band to play at her funeral service and it brought tears to our eyes as we said "Adios madrecita linda" to my Mom. Thank you Linda Ronstandt for your beautiful music and thank you Ramona for sharing this story. PS and a shout out to the Mariachis in Edinburg Texas for keeping the music alive!

I'm American born, and American raised. I love mariachi music and these students and their music directors have done so much to bring it to the public with lots of professionalism. You can see and hear how hard they work. Thanks to KZfaq we get to hear these wonderful musicians and singers.

What a wonderful competition for these students to take part in that celebrates Mariachi music. I hope this event will become a tradition each year for high school students in Texas. Perhaps other states could look into starting annual competitions likes this of folkloric music that the state is known for.

@scholasticacooney6830 4 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the exact same thing, BC, e.g. how wonderful it is for Texas to do this (and I was surprised, actually, that this is BRAND NEW to the state) and if other states would do this. HS polka bands in Wisconsin?

Correct me if I am wrong but I always thought the accordion was introduced to Mexico when Maximilian I (an Austrian) assumed the throne in the 1860's

I agree. I'm a descendant of Mexican Americans from South Texas, and I don't like that they had to relate what the kids are doing to the border and illegal immigrants. I understand that those are hot political issues in these areas. However, I think it neglects that most of these kids are probably 3-5 generations removed from immigration and some might not even speak Spanish outside of the songs they're singing. It's a complex dynamic, and I can't speak for them, only for my own experience. Mexican history is part of Texas history, so the lines in South Texas are blurred between culture that is distinctly Mexican and distinctly Texan.

I believe the answer to your question why is because they are performing mariachi music. I’m sure if you wanted high school band competitions that play those songs you could find them.

How do you know the anthem wasn't played? Or any other American song? If this video was your only exposure to the competition, you don't know what else was played, or not.

Iseeuandwatch79.....It's not a football/basketball/baseball/ect. game....it's a band competition.... When I played in the High School Orchestra, we went to state competitions and they didn't play the national anthem before it started. It's not an athletic event....
