The members of MARIACHI 'L' are familiar with various genres of local culture music including Mariachi, Country and a touch of Easy listening instrumental music as well. The instrumentation of the group varies with the song being played but is basically: 1 trumpet, 1 guitarron (bass-like instrument), 1 vihuela (small high-pitched guitar) and any combination of up to 5 violins, guitars or flutes depending on the song. Since we are from the heart of Texas, our uniforms have a western touch to reflect this. We have traditional Mariachi "trajes" with western style boots and "Texas" belt buckles. We have also worn western style ties.
