\nThe Associated Press distributed a nice feature on these stamps, not the usual press release regurgitation. Read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Updated<\/span> June 2nd<\/sup>:<\/strong><\/span>
\nOn July 15, 2022, in Albuquerque, NM, the United States Postal Service\u00ae will issue the Mariachi stamps (Forever\u00ae priced at the First-Class Mail\u00ae rate) in five designs, in a \"\"<\/a>pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 482300). These stamps will go on sale nationwide July 15, 2022, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue. The Mariachi pane of 20 stamps may not be split and the stamps may not be sold individually.<\/p>\n

Mariachi stamps celebrate the unique traditional music of Mexico that has become deeply rooted in the United States. Each of the five new stamps in this pane of 20 features a musician, dressed in traje de charro, the traditional outfit of mariachi performers, playing one of five iconic mariachi instruments: guitar, guitarr\u00f3n, vihuela, violin, and trumpet. The geometric shapes in the background of each stamp are a nod to Mexican villages, where mariachi music originated. Rafael L\u00f3pez designed the stamps and created the art. Derry Noyes served as art director for the project.<\/p>\n

No automatic distribution.<\/p>\n
