On this Plaza there were small groups of Mariachis, but there were also few big groups, and mostly they were playing for lots of people. Like that people started dancing just outside on the Plaza. It was great to see and to hear.

The third picture, Here you can see people spontaneously dancing to the sounds of the Mariachi music.

We stayed on this Plaza for several hours. It was so great to hear this music, and to see the beautifully dressed mariachis and also the joy of the local people. Can you imagine how it feels to sit on a bench on the Plaza Garibaldi, and listen to a Mariachi group who is playing and singing just in front of you? Well I know it must be difficult to imagine it, but believe me it gives you kind of chicken-skin.

Many, many Mariachi-groups are waiting here to play their songs; they can play anything from the saddest song to the most pleasant one. Till deep in the night these Mariachis play and sing every tear-jerker, every thing that you want to hear. You pay, they play, that is the way it goes.

On this Plaza Garibaldi, there were several beautiful statues of famous Mariachis. These statues were telling something about the history of this Plaza, like the memories to the glorious life of Jose Alfredo Jimenez (1926 – 1973) and also the Mexican idol Pedro Infante. Everywhere on this Plaza you saw Mariachi groups performing in front of a family, or in front a young couple who were deeply in love, or just near a restaurant table.
