Ay Mariachi!

It's night-time in the Plaza Garibaldi, Mexico City.

Neil Mcarthy descends into the meaning, madness and music of mariachi - hustling troubadours in sequined suits whose songs of love and pain are inseparable from Mexican life.

Producer: Mark Burman

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in May 2004.
