<holidayfyi-glossary slug="mariachi"></holidayfyi-glossary>A traditional Mexican musical ensemble featuring violins, trumpets, the vihuela, guitar, and guitarrón, dressed in charro suits. Mariachi music is central to Mexican Independence Day celebrations, Day of the Dead, quinceañeras, and Christmas posadas. UNESCO added mariachi to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. The genre has spread across the Americas and is an internationally recognized symbol of Mexican identity.
