In the city of Guadalajara, a group of 700 mariachis broke the Guinness Record for playing at the same time for over five minutes, according to El Universal.

... With this achievement, Mexico obtained its fifth consecutive Guinness Record in the international event, noted Beckmann. The first was for the largest number of mariachis, the second for the biggest number of charros flowering the lasso, the third was for the largest folkloric dance in the world and the fourth was for the biggest number of escaramuzas while performing three displays.

According to LaRed21, the record previously belonged to the city of Pasadena in the United States which managed to gather 566 mariachis. LaRed21 added that not all of the musicians of the previous Record were Mexican, since Japanese musicians among others also participated and played songs like "Guadalajara" and "Fiesta en Jalisco."
