Mariachi (US: / ˌ m ɑːr i ˈ ɑː tʃ i /, UK: / ˌ m ær-/, Spanish: [maˈɾjatʃi]) is an ensemble of musicians that typically play ranchera, the regional Mexican music dating back to at least the 18th century, evolving over time in the countryside of various regions of western Mexico. [1]

Chingon also contributed the song " Malagueña Salerosa " to Quentin Tarantino 's Kill Bill Volume 2 — which Rodriguez scored — and a live performance by the band was included on the film's DVD release.
