There are few corners of the globe where the echoes of mariachi music have yet to reach, filling street corners with the sounds of the blasting trumpets and strumming guitars that form the backbone of Mexico's traditional genre.
This image provided by the U.S. Postal Service shows a special series of mariachi stamps designed by artist Rafael Lopez. A first-day-of-issue ceremony was being held Friday, July 15, 2022, during the 30th annual Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque in Albuquerque, N.M. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
And having it recognized now on the stamps is a bonus, said Robert Palacios, executive director of the Las Cruces International Mariachi Conference, which is held every November in the border city. “It’s a universal thing that mariachi has and it’s hard to explain," he said, during an interview from his studio in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
He knows where each band member needs to place their hands to create that special tone. And that's reflected in the images on the postage stamps.
