Barbie® Juan Gabriel inspierd Doll. Mexican Female Mariachi Singer.

Description: I. History: a. Mariachia: Mariachia is a distinctly style of Mexican folk Music. The size of a mariachi group varies depending on the availability of musicians.[4] The usual mariachi group today consists of as many as eight violins, two trumpets and at least one guitar. Traditional mariachi guitars include the vihuela, a high-pitched, round-backed guitar that provides rhythm, and a bass guitar called a guitarrón, which also provides rhythm. Sometimes a Mexican folk harp provides bass and ornaments the melody. All are Mexican variations of European instruments. b. Jaun Gabriel (1950 – 2016): Born in Michoacán, he lived most of his childhood in Juarez, and because of that he was known as the Divo de Juarez. The youngest of ten siblings, Juan Gabriel came from very humble beginnings, and life was not very easy during his childhood, but he still managed to compose his first song at age 13. Along with legends such as José Alfredo Jiménez and Armando Manzanero, Juan Gabriel is considered as one of the composers who renewed the Mexican song in all its forms and styles (ranchera, corridos, bolero, balada, etc.). He offered hundreds of concerts, recorded many albums with many other famous singers, and received numerous awards. He was generous with charities especially ones aimed at helping young orphans. To recognize his successful musical career, he received a star at the Walk of Fame in Hollywood and other U.S. and Mexican cities.On August 28 2016, Juan Gabriel died in Santa Monica, California, reportedly from a heart attack. You can read more about Juan Gabriel and his legacy to pop culture and music in an extensive academic essay published in Latin American Music Review. II. For sale: a. Model Overview: This is the latest doll in the Barbie Signature Music Series celebrates the Mexican artist Juan Gabriel. In homage to this beloved singer and his charismatic style. b. Model Features: The doll wears a mariachi outfit complete with gold trim jacquard jacket over a chic black bodysuitHer look is inspired by what Juan Gabriel wore during his historic 1990 concert in El Palacio de Bellas Artes, in Mexico City. Accessories include Gold earings a bolo tie choker to a microphone, Gold open toed heels. Includes Certificate of Authenticity. c. Model Finish: Brown eyes, pink lipstick, flatering make up, Styled hair. d. Opinion: The Oldie Face mold works very well the darker hues found in Chicano skintones. The hair is styled in a very flatering way. Make up is preety yet conservative. The model muse body strikes a sex pose atention was paid to the body witch is a step up from previous Hispanic Barbies more curvaceous higher hip to waist ratio and a more prominent butt. The only complaints is the doll is a Female honoring the late Juan Gabriel although that does not bother me Hardcore Juanga fans will be disapointed at the realeas. If the Doll is meant for an international audience may have missed the mark and Mattel should cosider an actual Juan Gabriel doll in the future. Basic five points of articulation with movement at the head, shoulder, and hip. Although the doll is stunning and strikes a glamorous pose I would have like to seen nendable elbows and knees. e.
