2 play guitarron   2 play trumpet   2 play flute  1 plays drums   2 have co-written a song (music & lyrics)



The members of MARIACHI "L" are familiar with various genres of local culture music including Mariachi, Country and a touch of Easy listening instrumental music as well. The instrumentation of the group varies with the song being played but is basically: 1 trumpet, 1 guitarron (bass-like instrument), 1 vihuela (small high-pitched guitar) and any combination of up to 5 violins, guitars or fluits depending on the song.  Since we are from the heart of Texas, our uniforms have a western touch to reflect this. We have traditional Mariachi "trajes" with western style boots and "Texas" belt buckles. We also wear western style ties depending on the event.
