Working in a mariachi requires a lot of dedication, not only to an instrument but to your voice. Everybody who is in a mariachi knows that they have to play at least one physical instrument, which could be any of the following: Violin, Trumpet, Guitarron, Guitar, Guitarra De Golpe, Vihuela, or harp, and Everybody has to sing, it's a requirement. You don't have to sing a song by yourself but you do have to sing coro (chorus). Something what makes us different would be that we're not like most bands not only in the field of mariachi but in the music business in general. We hear music, we break down the song by instruments and listen to a lot of karaoke to get the technique of the song down. This process requires many memorization skills due to having us remember our instrument’s music, the chorus and if you're singing to remember the lyrics.While other groups find sheet music, read and then proceed to play it. To be honest yes it takes more time to unveil a song instrument by instrument but it takes more talent, skills, and dedication. Many musician’s know anyone could read music but not many could hear music.
