- 1馬里亞奇（墨西哥傳統樂隊音樂；也可指樂隊或樂手）
Mariachi is a kind of Mexican music people dance and celebrate to, usually with violins, trumpets, and several kinds of guitar, including a big deep one, and with singers. The musicians often wear matching suits and wide hats. You hear it at parties, restaurants, and big family days. Though actually, English uses the word more loosely than “a style of dance music.” A mariachi can be the whole band, and a mariachi can be one of the players. Not all Mexican music is mariachi, and mariachi is not only for dancing — it is also for listening and for show. English borrowed the word from Mexican Spanish. A tidy story says it comes from the French word for “marriage,” because the music was played at weddings; that story is probably wrong. The word was already in use before the French were in Mexico, and the true origin is not clear (many people now look toward indigenous languages).
組成Borrowed from Mexican Spanish mariachi. The origin of the Spanish word is unclear. It has often been linked to French mariage (“marriage”), but that is likely a folk story: the word was already used before the French invasion of Mexico. Other ideas point to indigenous roots. Nobody has a sure answer.
