Rock

Colorado's role in the history of rock music is quite intricate, and is often overlooked and argued upon by music historians. In the 1960s, the expolsive era of folk music, Denver became a folk rock epicenter for the mountain west and central plains. As decades progressed as did popular music in rock n' roll, the music scene began to mature as well, with a more broad range of styles, genres and scenes to explore within the state, especially Denver.


Punk

In the early 1970s, the band Zephyr became the hottest regional act, though they never broke in across the country. During the same period, a large number of Californian musicians, especially hippies, moved to Colorado. Coloradan punk rock began in 1976, with the formation of a Boulder group called The Ravers, who released a single for Screwball Records, the first punk recording from Colorado, before moving to New York City and becoming The Nails.

Though The Ravers had to leave Colorado for New York, the state's punk scene grew steadily more vibrant. A Wax Trax! Records store in Denver helped in this transition; store owners Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher had an enormous impact on the local music scene. The store hosted weekly parties beginning in 1977, where DJs played New Wave and punk rock. By the end of the decade, local bands became well-known in cities across the state; these included The Front, Corvairs, The Young Weasels, Dancing Assholes, Defex, The Violators, The Guys and Johny Three.

Mariachi Music Online - Listen To Music Samples (995 words)
Mariachi is a type of musical group, originally from Mexico, consisting of at least two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a high-pitched, five-string guitar) and one guitarrón (a small-scaled acoustic bass), but sometimes featuring more than twenty musicians.
The earliest known appearance of the word mariachi in reference to music is from 1852, nearly ten years prior to the French intervention in 1861.
Another theory states that the word originated in the language of the Coca Indians in the early 16th century and originally referred to the wooden platform on which the musicians often performed, which was made of the wood of the Pilla or Cirimo tree.
