A new series of US Postal Service stamps pays tribute to mariachi music.
- The stamps are the work of artist Rafael López, who was asked to design a series of stamps honoring Latin American culture.
- López settled on mariachi music and created five different designs—one of which used his nephew as a model.
- It is the first time that mariachi music has been featured on an American stamp. The series started earlier this month.
- If you could design your own postage stamp, who or what would be on it?
