In Mexico, music can surely be a meaningful expression of one's cultural and historical heritage, but it can also just be plain fun. Mexican music has thousand of years of history behind it, but that doesn’t make it stale. Actually, music in Mexico is ever-evolving, and Mexican musicians aren’t shy about forging new territory, even while remembering their cultural home base.
Mexican music has blended with forms from the Southwestern United States, especially Texas, where “tejano” music mixes both Spanish and Texan instruments and sounds.
While many Mexican musicians base their music in tradition, there are also thriving modern music scenes through the country — rock, pop, punk, hip-hop, techno…. any music, anywhere, has a home in Mexico.
