musicians . Although mariachis are
hired to play at events such as weddings
and other formal occasions, such as a
quinceañera (a girl's fifteenth birthday
celebration), they are very often used to
serenade women because many of the
songs have as a theme the desire to
touch the heart of the opposite sex.

in different places at night (Guadalajara
and Plaza Garibaldi in Mexico City) for
the purposes of serenading.

occasion for mariachis.
