A giant leap forward in the realm of Mariachi rights

Posted by on 15 March 2006

In a shocking twist of events, the city of Zurich has reversed its no-mariachis-on-trams policy! The pictures were quietly replaced over the past few days. A little internet research revealed that the Mexican consulate complained to the city about the signs after having received many angry calls from the community. The replacement of the signs is reportedly costing the city CHF 20,000.

The replacement signs simply forbid all guitar players, regardless of nationality. Especially if they are singing.

    What about holding a guitar and yawning. Is that allowed?

    Looks like it may or may not be verboden.

    That sign is offensive to all acoustic guitar players.

    Bastards!

    I love both the old and new signs… so creative. Signs are one of my favorite things to take photos of when in a strange land.
