What Are Las Mananitas?

In many countries when it's someone's birthday there is the traditional Happy Birthday Party and congratulations are given to the birthday male or female. But, in Mexico some people like to serenade with music these birthdays. There is one song that I would like to explain about in this article that is used a lot throughout Mexico for birthdays. In this article I will explain what the song Las Mananitas is about, and the way this song is played.

Las Mananitas is a song that has been used for years to congratulate birthdays early in the morning for years in Mexico and sometimes in the United States. This song is a very sad song that has lyrics that appreciates the birthday male or female. And, the lyrics are very sad and happy to be alive and living one more year in your life. It' a song of appreciation for life and joy of life and it's a very emotional song that sometimes makes the birthday person cry for joy, and the person giving the serenade sometimes cries for joy. If you understand this song it's very emotional to hear, and every time I hear this song a tear comes to my eyes.

To serenade Las Mananitas it can be done with a radio request. The radio jockey will say happy birthday to the birthday male or female then the request is played in Mariachi tone. And, of course you have to make sure the birthday male or female has their radio on to hear it. Then there is the traditional serenade of Las Mananitas early in the morning at the person's door step, which is usually a female. Because, these kind of serenades are sent in person by the boyfriend of the birthday female. And, a Mariachi Band plays the song with the boyfriend sometimes singing or the Mariachi Band singing. The serenade is done very early in the morning like at seven in the morning, and it's very beautiful to watch and listen and all the neighbors will be aware of the noise levels because it's loud.
