 Information:
 
THIS IS NOT THE INSTRUMENT TO BE USED IN THE FILM
Vihulea
The vihuela gets its' name from the Spanish vihuela of the Renaissance time although the two are very different. The vihuela design includes a belly for added resonance and has five single courses of strings. The mariachis of Cocula and Ameca used the vihuela instead of the Guitarra De Golpe during the 1800's. The vihuela has a tuning of a-d'-g'-b-e. and this instrument gives the mariachi ensemble its' unique sound since no other genre of music uses the vihuela. The role of the vihuela is also as a rhythm and chordal accompaniment. In recent recordings, arrangers have made more clever use of the vihuela's capabilities.
