Supplemental context
The existing researched UNESCO record presents mariachi through string instruments, song and, in modern ensembles, trumpets. Learning, repertory and social occasions matter as much as a familiar costume. Future readers should avoid treating the original short description as the full definition: not every ensemble or performance looks identical. Keeping the musicians' names, locality and occasion with a recording preserves distinctions that a generic image cannot supply. This companion reuses an explicitly fictional ensemble illustration, not footage of an actual group.
Creator/community: Mexican mariachi musicians, makers, teachers and communities Place/era: Mexico; living regional traditions, UNESCO inscription 2011
