Martínez worked in the Mariachi Vargas of Tecalitlán from 1942 until roughly 1965, with some absences. In this group Martínez defined the function of the trumpetin the mariachi, instrument that was not usual in this gender until him. During practically all his participation in the Mariachi Vargas worked like only as trumpeter. His form to interpret created a unique and pioneer style that is the most imitated model until the actuality. In the Mariachi México de Pepe Villa, Martinez invented the dueto de trompetas (duet of trumpets), used in the majority of mariachi groups. Martinez reduced his professional activity from the 1970s after a dental problem derived from the trumpet use.

Pedro Miguel

Pedro Miguel is a parish in the northeastern part of the municipality of Horta on the island of Faial in the Azores. Pedro Miguel is located 6 km north of the city of Horta on the main regional road that encircles the island. The population in 2011 was 759, in an area of 14.48 km².

History

The first record of the parish, which was named for one of the original inhabitants, dated August 7, 1590, came from a financial transaction between King Sebastian who sent the vicar 25 thousand reis (ostensibly for construction or furnishing of their church).

Pedro Miguel became a parish in 1666. In order to protect itself from surprise attacks by pirates that roamed the Canal, a small fort Forte Baixo was constructed in the 17th century.

In 1871, both a boy's and girl's school operated from Pedro Miguel, since the community was part of a greater district that included Ribeirinha and Praia do Almoxarife. A justice of the peace operated from this district, where the electoral assembly was also situated. The population had reached 1,757 inhabitants by this time.
