Mexico, Travel Tips

Mariachi Songs To Request

Do you love mariachi music as much as I do? The horns, harp, guitars, trumpets, accordians, playing in unison as the mariachis wear matching charro outfits and sombreros! The mariachis approach your table and ask which song you want to request...You don't know the names of any songs, so you say La Bamba. Even though you really enjoy the music, you may not know which songs to request.
