Why the stamp was issued: To honor mariachi music, its cultural value to Mexico, and its rise in popularity in the United States.
About the stamp design: Pictures a mariachi musician with his guitar. The background represents a sunset over a Mexican village, the places where mariachi music first came to be. The artwork and design was done by Rafael López.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque Showcase Competition Concert.
About the Mariachi set: The stamps picture five different mariachi musicians and their instruments. The geometric shapes in the background represent Mexican villages, the places where mariachi music first came to be. The artwork and designs were done by Rafael. The stamps symbolize the way different parts of Mexican culture have made their way into American culture, too.
History the stamp represents: Like many genres of music, mariachi has had a number of outside influences that have led it to what it is today. Originally developed in rural Mexico, mariachi eventually spread to urban areas where it began adopting elements of polkas, waltzes, marches, and more.
The diversification of mariachi music started after the Mexican Revolution when many haciendas (large estates) that employed mariachis had to reduce their number of workers. Mariachi groups began to travel and play requested songs for a fee. This was often done in busy plazas with people from all walks of life. Since they were sometimes asked to perform songs other than those in the traditional mariachi genre, other genres naturally began to influence their music over time.
As the popularity of mariachi music began to grow, the Mexican government got involved and began promoting the music for its emphasis on Mexican identity and culture. It most commonly featured themes of machismo (traditional male qualities), love, betrayal, death, politics, revolutionary heroes, and country life. It has made its way into radio stations and motion pictures across Mexico. After the Mexican Revolution, mariachi music had become one of the nation’s new international symbols.
