On November 24, 2020, we launched a video Doodle celebrating a quintessential element of Mexico’s rich cultural heritage: the musical genre of Mariachi! Mariachi is typically characterized by a small group of musicians dressed in traditional clothing who perform a wide repertoire of Mexican songs on mostly stringed instruments. During a session held the week of November 22, 2011, UNESCO inscribed Mariachi on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In this video, you can listen to the full, original recording of the classic song Cielito Lindo, which was featured in the Google Doodle. More than just music, Cielito Lindo (which roughly translates from Spanish to “lovely sweet one”) is a symbol of Mexican pride and community.
