He worked extensively on the playing of the instruments and formed an ensemble that would play the Mariachi perfectly. The group consisted of five members at that time which also included his son Silvestre Vargas, who joined the group in 1926. Today, the fifth generation plays the Mariachi with thirteen members amongst which various instruments are distributed accordingly.
The second generation of Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan began its journey in 1931 when Gaspar Vargas handed over the responsibility of the group to his son. The ambitious Silvestre who dreamt of the ensemble becoming one of the leading Mariachi of Mexico initially expanded the strength of the group to eight musicians. The ensemble participated and won a number of contests in cities like Guadalajara and Mexico City.

The next forty years of the ensemble saw some enriched changes and some unique and diverse recordings. The famous "Golden Age of Huapangos" was also recorded during this era. Fuentes assumed the responsibility solely as a music director of Vargas De Tecalitlan.
