Antonio, El Mariachi (Anno Domini 1666)



Hello everyone!


Antonio, El Mariachi and Diego 'El Capitan' Montoya.
Of course, as with any entry associated with Anno Domini 1666, so now I ask for a little distance - AD1666 is a historical game with supernatural elements (Demons, Werewolves, Golems and many other characters from folk beliefs and legends) and other climate models known from books or movies.


Including the title Antonio, stylized on a musican from Mexico (played by Antonio Banderas). This, in turn, draws a full handful of real Mariachi, that is, from a kind of Mexican band/orchestra.
         Typical mariachi include a violin (the Antonia model has a case for the violin in which it carries guns), various types of guitars, mandolins and trumpets.

       Mariachi's repertoire includes both contemporary compositions and Mexican folk music. The beginnings of this type of music can be traced to the eighteenth century in the state of Jalisco. The name mariachi probably took its origin from the Mexican distortion of the French word mariage (marriage). 
Mariachi were initially associated with wedding parties.
In the nineteenth century, their members were recruited mainly from nomadic wage workers working on haciendas (hence their characteristic dress).
Over time, this has changed and you can now meet them on various occasions.
Their music, however, has retained its typical dance character.

The word mariachi also means a single folk music performer.

  3. Robota malarska przednia, to jest bezdyskusyjnie.

    To metal czy plastik? Nie dalej, jak wczoraj oglądałem dostępne zestawy i chodzi mi jeden po głowie, żeby sobie na półkę pomalować. Jakość metali znam, bo już miałem nieco do czynienia z AD, ale rozważam zakup plastików, stąd pytanie.
