Peso Pluma, Becky G Change Genre

Presented by Lexus, proudly celebrating Latin Music, this episode dives into how Regional Mexican music has been transformed by artists like Peso Pluma, Becky G, Selena, and more. We discuss how the newer generation is putting a modern twist on a classic sound.

Isabela Raygoza:

Let’s talk about the Rise of Regional Mexican Music. 

Leila Cobo:

La música mexicana is traditional Mexican music, it’s just being done with new voices, it’s modernized, it has a new attitude, it has new swagger. And thanks to this new generation making the music, the music has a bigger, broader, audience. Música mexicana comes from Mexico obviously, and it’s a mix of folk sounds from Mexico blended with a lot of European influences. So you have a lot of influence from Spain, you also have a lot of influence from German immigrants. You have guitars, and then you have tubas. Musica mexicana is broken down into many many many subgenres. First of all there’s mariachi, it uses a lot of strings and trumpets, beautiful uniforms and a lot of violins. 

Paola Jara:

I think that if I go to Mexico, we also have some great representatives of the artists I grew up with, who have influenced me since I was a child. Juan Gabriel, Ana Gabriel, Vicente Fernandez. 

Pipe Bueno:

I had the pleasure of touring with him on his farewell tour for 13 shows and getting to know closely such a person, such a giant star of the genre that I love, which is vernacular music, mariachi, regional music. Banda is completely a brass instrumentation. Bandas are big groups, they’re 10 people or more, and they’re all playing tubas, trumpets, and the music is very danceable but it can also be very romantic.
