I am a Filipino-American and I have grown up in a predominately Hispanic city all my life. I have been able to acknowledge the fact that Mariachi has definitely been the most familiar genre of Mexican music to most Americans. Growing up I would attend Hispanic parties and weddings and there would always be a Mariachi band. Even going out to spanish restaurants there would be a live Mariachi band playing and singing to you as you dine. I also have a couple of friends who are singers in a Mariachi band.
