Why mexicans stopped using violins in there music?

I believe the traditional music sounds way better and even majestic than the newer corridos where they over do it with the accordions and tuba.

Modern Mariachi music is as Mexican as Tequila and Sombreros, and every Mariachi band features violins, some as many as 8! If it hasn't got a violin or three, it ain't Mariachi.

I'm mexican I was born and raised in durango mexico. But what ever I have never been a fan of mexican music but you are right. The traditional is better its just there's different genres in the mexican music corrido is a genre there's artist that still play traditional Mexican music but younger generations listen to corridos ilder generatiins like my parents and grand parents (I'm 24) listen to traditional its just like pop music or hip hop here in the usa older african amerucans would listen to a different type of music even remember the 80 hip hop to todays hip hop I think that's an example it just changea for no reason is just what newer generations like
