I would have said no. C&W is derived from folk music of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England especially, with added variations from other parts of Western Europe. Mariachi is derived from Spanish and Native American music. I guess as time goes by there is/will be crossover?
Was Freddy Fender ever considered mariachi? Ehh..probably not, but, He had a good run on country stations in the early 70s. I need to go back now and listen to some old Freddy.
Not really, just like Bluegrass isn't really Country Western. I would say mariachi and Bluegrass and old school country and western are all folk musics, or folk music based
