This sounds like music from a mariachi band. Sweet! The typical instruments of contemporary mariachi include the vihuela, a five-string guitar related to an instrument popular in the Spanish Renaissance; the guitarrón, a large, fretless six-string bass guitar; a standard six-string acoustic guitar; and violins and trumpets, which usually play the melody. Trumpets were not added until the early 20th century, but they are now more or less an essential element. SOURCE: Encyclopedia Britannica. FYI: Melody first played on the mini-key Casio SA-76 - warming up. Then, on the Yamaha Portable Grand. Yeah, baby. That's how it done. SONG from The Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had a Brain in C major. Thanks for listening and/or watching on Spotify. Happy Halloween
