Their dress and style of music caused controversy in their time. The name Garibaldi comes from Plaza Garibaldi in Mexico City where mariachi bands can be found.The group remained active from 1988 through 1994. The group was created by mexican tv producer Luis de Llano Macedo during the celebration of the 175 years of Mexican Independence in the musical festival held in Acapulco, Guerrero.

In 2010 the group reunited for a second time to record Garibaldi Bicentenario, in celebration of the 200 years of Mexican Independence. However two of the original members abandoned the reunion project. At first Victor Noriega did not appear in the production release citing work exhaustion due to the completion of a recent soap opera.
