Doritos Increase the Bookings for Mariachi Bands

Believe it or not, an advert for Doritos has massively increased the demand for Mariachi Bands to perform at weddings and parties in the Dorset area! It is probably a national occurrence, but as this blog features mainly on Dorset and the surrounding counties then this is where my focus will stay.

It seems that people from Poole and folks from Farnham just cannot get enough of these Mariachi performers. Just in case you have been living on Mars and haven't actually seen the band I am referring to, here's the video:

Familiar now? Ring a bell? Well, having done a bit of research on the advert and these guys I can point you in the direction if you want to book either this actual Mariachi band, or, another similar but maybe less costly one (not that these are actually that costly... but, after having a chat with them, availability is now their biggest problem).

So, the band in question is called Mariachi Mexteca and you can book similar bands right here: http://www.warble-entertainment.com/live-music/traditional-world-music/mariachi-bands

As the link about shows, the guys are based in London / Middlesex (is that the same thing?!), but they travel really well and all over the UK... and, obviously, to Dorset :)

As I touched upon above, such is the bands popularity now that they have very little availability. but, this is great news for additional Mariachi Bands such as Mariachi Tequila who are now seeing their best year since they started! Good work Walkers!

Any excuse for another video here are the guys again with their Christmas special video....

A final pointer is that because the genre has become so popular in general, and especially when you add the fusion of Mexican / Spanish Mariachi with Western tunes, there are now comedy versions that have popped up in a similar style to the Surprise Singing Waiter style shows that were very popular a few years ago (bit, not so popular now as most people have seen them in action and so it isn't as much of a surprise as it used to be). But, comedy Mariachi bands, like these guy, can be great fun!

And, that's it! If you are looking for Mariachi band hire then all of the bands mentioned above are available at great rates, and, will all travel to Dorset :)
