  2. With this post that Tomorrowland Festival has gotten wider attention. What a feast of musical styles. I’m wondering how uncomfortable the fingering would be for that serpent. And, I did not know that mariachi included the violin.

    • I didn’t know either. So I searched and…. “The usual mariachi group today consists of as many as eight violins, two trumpets and at least one guitar, including a high-pitched vihuela and an acoustic bass guitar called a guitarrón, and all players taking turns singing lead and doing backup vocals.” 😳
