As well as providing the music for songs, mariachi music serves for dancing as well, often with foot-stamping steps which descend from Spanish Flamenco. Mariachi music began to acquire its current popularity in the 1930s, when band members began wearing the typical “charro” outfit that is familiar today - the short black jacket, tight trousers and wide-brimmed “sombrero” hat, all with silver trimmings. Mariachi bands were once a common sight at baptisms, weddings and national celebrations, and might even be hired to serenade a loved one, though nowadays they are less common, due to the high cost of contracting their services.mariachi2 adjMéx Fam ham-fisted;Celia es bien mariachi para cocinar Celia is hopeless at cooking* * *I m mariachi bandII m/f mariachi player* * *mariachi nm: mariachi musician or band -
