A new group of immigrants to
Alabama have recently appeared to fill various
labor markets, construction, landscaping and most
notably, poultry production work. With these new
Hispanic immigrants comes a need for traditional
as well as contemporary musical entertainment for
dances, festivals and other cultural events. The
Mariachi Garibaldi travels all over Alabama as well as
Mississippi, Georgia, Florida performing their
music. Everesto Hernandez, the group's leader, is
a recent recipient of a Folk
Art Apprenticeship Grant from the Alabama State
Council on the Arts.

"The song
"Guadalajara" is in the rhythm of the
traditional son. It was written by the late, very
well-known Mexican songwriter Jose (Pepe) Guizar, most
likely in 1937. It is among the most requested of
songs played by the Mariachi ensemble." (Dan Sheehy)

Guadalajara
Guadalajara,
Guadalajara;
Guadalajara, Guadalajara.
Tienes el alma de provinciana,
hueles a limpia rosa temprana;
aber de jarra fresca del rio;
son mil palomas, tu caserio.
Guadalajara, Guadalajara,
hueles a pura tierra mojada.
ĦAy!, colomitos
lejanos.
ĦAy!, ojitos de agua, hermanos.
ĦAy!, colomitos inolvidables,
inolvidables como las tardes
en que la lluvia desde la loma
no nos dejaba ir a Zapopan.
ĦAy, Tlaquepaque
pueblito!
Sus olorosos jarritos
hacen mas fresco el dulce tepache
para la birria, junto al mariachi,
que en los parianes y alfarerias
suena con triste melancolia.
ĦAy!, Ħay!,
Ħay!; Ħay!, Ħay!, Ħay!
ĦAy!, Ħay!, Ħay!; Ħay!, Ħay!, Ħay!
Guadalajara,
Guadalajara.
