The sound

Regional Mexican covers brass-heavy banda from Sinaloa, accordion-led norteño from the north, the ranchera tradition of mariachi and the storytelling corrido — which, as corridos tumbados, became a worldwide streaming phenomenon in the 2020s. In the US, stations such as La Tricolor carry it for millions of listeners. Mexican radio, Mexico City radio and Latin radio go further.
