Description
© Christine Till
The only thing more Mexican than tequila is the mariachi and it seems a shame to have one without the other. Mariachi goes beyond music, it is the sum of a cultural revolution expressed through a group of musicians, dressed in popular clothing (most recently charro suits) which encompasses the essence of Mexico and its people. It is something cultural, spiritual and traditional that is unique to this country, an experience not to be missed.
The word mariachi refers to the musicians now commonly seen in restaurants or strolling the streets, dressed in silver studded charro outfits with wide brimmed hats playing a variety of instruments which include violins, guitars, basses, vihuelas (a 5 string guitar) and trumpets. Their songs speak about machismo, love, betrayal, death, politics, revolutionary heroes and even animals (one particularly famous song is "La Cucaracha").
Mariachi means one of the most exciting and enchanting musical ensembles found anywhere in the world. The mariachi tradition has been extended from Mexico to places as far away as Japan and Europe, particularly the United States, where it was introduced by Mexican immigrants.

That is pretty cool and it seem's you have captured it with the perfect sky in the background. I like how rusted and old they look as well and then with the sky in the background. They also look larger then life the way you shoot them like up like that.
