Mariachi Music Dates back to at least 19th century Western Mexico Prior to the arrival of the Spanish colonization, indigenous people of Central America played music with rattles, drums, flutes, and conch-shell horns as part of religious celebrations much like Native Americans we've already talked about. The Spanish introduced violins, guitars, harps, brass instruments, and woodwinds, mostly during Christian celebration (Mass), but they were quickly adapted to secular events. Indigenous and mestizo peoples learned to play and make these instruments, often giving them modified shapes and tunings. In addition to instruments, the Spanish introduced the concept of musical groups—which, in the colonial period, generally consisted of two violins, a harp, and various guitars. This grouping gave rise to a number of folk musical styles in Mexico.
