Mariachi by Patricia Greathouse

From book jacket: Mariachi is more than the music of trumpets and violins: it is the makings of a celebration, a party, a wedding, a festival, or a concert. Mariachi music has evolved from local musicians playing in small Mexican villages to professional artists now appearing in concert halls, sports arenas, and performance stages throughout the world, including the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. It is taught in thousands of classrooms throughout the United States.

In Mariachi, tales of life as a mariachi are interwoven with enlightening biographies and interviews of mariachi greats, favorite song lyrics, and recipes from the mariachi culture. Fascinating archival photos adorn the pages. This well-rounded book of history and celebration captures the world of mariachi within Mexico and the United States and how it has developed into a mainstream musical genre.

Patricia Greathouse played violin with Mariachi Azteca for nine years. She developed the Mozart y Mariachi program and started Mariachi Juvenil de Santa Fe for the Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association. Greathouse is currently a cooking instructor, restaurant reviewer, and food feature writer for the Santa Fe New Mexican.

CD has nine songs performed by Eduardo Hernandez and El Mariachi Tenampa. Songs include Guadalajara, Flor De Las Flores, Cu-Cu-Ru-Cu-Cu Paloma, Volver Volver, El Reloj, Mexico Lindo Y Querido, Granada, La Malaguema and Solamente Una Vez.
