Mariachi music for most of its 200 or so years has primarily been an aural tradition passing songs down from generation to generation ear to ear. In the 1980's there was a sudden renaissance of traditional Mexican music not inits native Mexico but around the world. As interest grew in learning mariachi repertory from non-mariachi trained musicians a need arose to provide written notational documentation of the many songs that have come to identifythe mariachi tradition. Author Laura Sobrino has been a professional mariachi and is familiar with the stylistic intricacies that truly make this Mexican traditional and popular music unique. For those who wish to grasp anunderstanding of the mariachi style and who don't have a mariachi musician to teach them these transcriptions are some of the best available. The pieces in this collection include parts for one or two violins guitar (notationand chord symbols) and bass (notation only).

From that triple (though not always conscious) alliance among the native Indigenous the European colonizer and the African (those latter brought here as slave workers) resulted a 'Brazility'feeling which is common to every country side despite the distances that separate them: joyous melancholic nostalgic or ritual Brazilian music is always the most authentically expression of its people their happiness andsorrows. This work is an effort to display some Brazilian popular melodies arranged for violin and piano. The themes chosen coming from the country as well as urban areas are part of a repertoire quite familiar to everyBrazilian some of them already belonging for centuries to Brazil's memory. No intention of producing a scientific or musicological work has been nourished by the arrangers. What guided them in the choice of the songs presented inthis book was above all a poetic sense and deep love for the music of their country. Enclosed are 19 violin solos on historic Brazilian themes. A free piano accompaniment is available free online.
