Abstract:
Mariachi Music is one of the most popular musics in Los Angeles. There is a substantial Mexican population and an almost continual influx of Mexican immigrants, including musicians, into the Los Angeles area. A natural laboratory is thus established in which tendencies both toward standardization in the performance of traditional and popular materials and toward innovation are observable.
