Son mexicano is a very general category that encompasses nine different types of rural folk music that each correlate to a specific region of Mexico. MariachiMariachi is a form of folk music from Mexico. It began as a regional folk style called “Son Jaliscience” in the center west of Mexico which was originally played only with string instruments and musicians dressed in the white pants and shirts of peasant farmers. The musical style began to take prominence in the first half of the 20th century. The word “mariachi” is thought to have derived from the French word mariage (“marriage”). The size of a mariachi group varies depending on the availability of musicians. Today, the usual mariachi group consistsof as many as eight violins, two trumpets and at least one guitar. Traditional mariachi groups include the vihuela and the guitarron. Mariachi “guitars”One type of Mexican guitar is the guitarron mexicano. It is a very large, deep-bodied Mexican sixstring acoustic bass played traditionally in mariachi groups. Because its great size gives it volume, it does not require electric amplification for performances in small venues. It is fretless with heavy gauge strings Another type of Mexican guitar is the vihuela. A vihulea is a guitar-shaped instrument from 19th century Mexico with five strings. It is typically played in mariachi groups. It is a small deep-bodied rhythm guitar built along the same lines as the guitarron. It is played with one’s fingers (can also be played with a pick) strumming open chords on the fretted part of the neck.Son JarochoSon Jarocho is a regional folk musical style of Mexican Son from Veracruz. It represents a fusion of indigenous, Spanish, and African musical elements, reflecting the population that evolved in the region from Spanish colonial times. Lyrics include humorous verses and subjects such as love, nature, sailors and cattle breeding. RancheraRanchera is a genre of the traditional music of Mexico originally sung by only one performer with a guitar. Traditional rancheras are about love, patriotism, or nature. Instruments used may include guitars, strings, trumpets and/or accordions. Good Neighbor PolicyThe Good Neighbor Policy was the foreign policy of the administration of the United States towards Latin America. The policy’s main principle was that of non-intervention and non-interference in the domestic affairs of Latin America. Also, it reinforced the idea that the United States would be a “good neighbor” and engage in reciprocal exchanges with Latin American countries.
