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 trumpet. 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: Some of the greatest Mexican musicians of all time started out performing as or were inspired by mariachi. Some of these names include Jorge Negrete, Juan Gabriel, Pedro Infante, and Vincente Fernández, although there are many others. Many considered these men the rock stars of Mexico. They played a major role in the spread of mariachi music across the globe.
Perhaps the most famous Mexican musician with connections to mariachi was Vincente Fernández (February 17, 1940 – December 12, 2021). Fernández began singing in restaurants and at weddings with different mariachi groups when he was just 14 years old. He appeared on television for the first time at 21 and recorded his first album at 26. Ten years later, he recorded the song Volver Volver, and his popularity soared, reaching even the United States. He won several Grammy Awards and his live concerts (both in Mexico and the United States) broke attendance records as late as 2009.
Fernández became known as “The King of Ranchera Music” and “The Idol of Mexico.” His music earned him a fan base much like that of Elvis Presley. Even after his death, Vincente Fernández fans were extremely passionate about their “king.” In 1991, the US media referred to him as the “Mexican Sinatra.”
