A White Guy Listens to Mexican Music Part 3: Mariachi

Hey all. This is part three of my series on Mexican music. It's the genre that some consider to be the grand daddy of all, Mariachi. This style certainly is iconic when it comes to Mexican culture and music, it tends to be the style most people think of when it comes to Mexico. It has a storied history and many incredibly talented artists. I had a great time digging into this style, I hope you enjoy this episode. Here's a few links if you're interested in learning more about Mariachi.
