Before the 1920s, when it became widely popular, son was mostly enjoyed by the lower classes and was once even banned for being immoral. A son group usually consists of the “tres” (a double-stringed guitar), bongos, “claves” or “palos” (a pair of sticks which are struck together to give a beat), a normal guitar, a bass guitar and voice, although there are many variations. Among the greatest exponents of son were Benny Moré (1919-63) and Arsenio Rodríguez (1911-72).* * *I m sound;al son de to the sound of;en son de broma jokingly;en son de paz in peaceII vb → ser* * *son nm1) : soundal son de la trompeta: at the sound of the trumpet2) : news, rumor3)en son de : as, in the manner of, by way ofen son de broma: as a jokeen son de paz: in peace -

[músico] mariachi (musician)MARIACHIA mariachi band may contain from six to eight violinists, two trumpeters and a guitarist, as well as other more specialized instruments, such as the “guitarrón” (an outsize, deep-toned guitar), the “vihuela” (a high-pitched guitar), and the harp. 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 -
