borders two major bodies of water, the Pacific
Ocean (with the Sea of Cortés between the
mainland and the Baja California peninsula) to
the west and on the east the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea that lead to the Atlantic Ocean.
Here are found coastal plains, whereas central
Mexico consists of high plateaus and rugged mountains,
including volcanoes, the highest of which is the
Pico de Orizaba at 5,610 m.
The terrain and climate vary from deserts in
the north to tropical rain forest in the south.
Mexico's major rivers @include the Río Bravo
(known in the US as the Rio Grande), the Río
Grijalva, the Río Balsas, the Río
Pánuco, and the Río Yaqui.
Mariachi music is the most well-known regional
music of Mexico. It originated in the western
state of Jalisco. The earliest known appearance
of this term in reference to music is from 1852.
By the turn of the century, mariachi was popular
across Mexico. Rural subgenres have largely died
out, and urban mariachi from Mexico City has dominated
the field since the 1930s. It became known as
the national music of Mexico after the 1910 Mexican
Revolution, and was subsidized during the term
of Lázaro Cárdenas. Cornets were
added to mariachi in the 1920s; they were replaced
by trumpets ten years later.
