A total of 457 Mexicans on Saturday set a Guinness record for the largest folk dance performance in the world at the International Mariachi and Charreria Conference being held in the western Mexican city of Guadalajara.

In front of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Cathedral, dancers performed for 10 minutes to typical Mexican songs like “Guadalajara,” “El Jarabe Tapatio” (The Guadalajara Jarabe Dance), and “El Son de la Negra” (The Dark Girl’s Music), a combination that got them into the Guinness Book of Records.

A representative of the Guinness organization certified the participation of the dancers who filled the Plaza Liberacion with their colorful costumes and joyous rhythms to the delight of a huge crowd.
