This book is a photographic and ethnographic study of the mariachis, Mariachi Plaza de Los Angeles, and the neighborhood. The newly restored brick hotel embodies a triumphant struggle of preservation against all odds, and its origins open a portal into the Mexican \u003cem\u003epueblo\u003c\/em\u003e's centuries-old multiethnic past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiguel Gandert's compelling black-and-white images document the hotel and the vibrant mariachi community of the Garibaldi Plaza of Los Angeles. The history of Hotel Mariachi is personal to Catherine L pez Kurland, a descendant of the entrepreneur who built it, and whose family's Californio roots will fascinate anyone interested in early Los Angeles or Mexican American history. Enrique Lamadrid explores mariachi music, poetry, and fiestas, and the part Los Angeles played in their development, delving into the origins of the music and offering a deep account of mariachi poetics. \u003cem\u003eHotel Mariachi\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique lens through which to view the history and culture of Mexicano California, and provides touching insights into the challenging lives of mariachi musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine L.
