It's the first time a mariachi band is featured on U.S. stamps, according to the Postal Museum. And for some in the Latino community, it's recognition of how their heritage and culture are part of the American fabric

too much fun. I'd never really been into mariachi until I saw this and then I was a convert.

Mariachi, opera, ballads, rock n roll. And now..life can be cruel sometimes.

I lived in Corpus Christi Tx for a few years and one day when I was getting off a plane, someone had rented a Mariachi band to meet one of the other passengers.

Ever since I have wanted one to be waiting for me at the airport....it was so cool!!
