Why the stamp was issued: To honor mariachi music, its cultural value to Mexico, and its rise in popularity in the United States.
About the stamp design: Pictures a mariachi musician with his guitarron (base guitar). The background represents a Mexican village, the places where mariachi music first came to be. The artwork and design was done by Rafael López.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque Showcase Competition Concert.
About the Mariachi set: The stamps picture five different mariachi musicians and their instruments. The geometric shapes in the background represent Mexican villages, the places where mariachi music first came to be. The artwork and designs were done by Rafael. The stamps symbolize the way different parts of Mexican culture have made their way into American culture, too.
History the stamp represents: While mariachis are known to wear a wide range of clothing styles, perhaps the most famous (and common) is called the traje de charro (charro suit). Charro dress originated from a specific type of Mexican horseman of the same name.
Charro outfits can be worn by men or women and range from casual to formal. The least formal is called the faena or work outfit, while the etiqueta is the most formal. Styles that fall in the middle include media gala, gala, and gran gala. Most mariachi performers in plazas, restaurants, and other public places wear the gala version. This is usually black with silver accents, though some mariachi wear multi-colored versions.
However formal the outfit, all charro suits consist of long, tight pants with embellishments on the sides, a short, embroidered coat (often known as a bolero jacket), sombrero, silk tie, and high-heeled boots or leather shoes. Female mariachi performers may wear long skirts instead of pants, but their outfits are otherwise much the same as male mariachi.
Like mariachi music itself, the charro suit has become a symbol of Mexican history around the world. It is also a source of great pride for mariachi performers everywhere.
