Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan is the best mariachi band in the world. This is my opinion and only my opinion. Their arrangements are not the best and their playing is often rough, but they have my vote because of tradition and because they are the older of only two bands among the top five that is actually from Mexico. (that is amazing, no?). Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Mariachi Cobre, Mariachi America, and Mariachi Los Camperos can often sound better and their arrangements (especially Sol De Mexico's and America's) are more sophisticated but they lack the heavy-duty tradition. There you have it.
