A great mix of musical styles has emerged here in the Mexican
valley, with influences from many other lands. One of the
most recognized and typically associated with Mexico and Mexican
idiosyncrasy is the traditional mariachi music. Folk music
plays an important part of the Mexican musical and traditional
dance scene, and is present in all events and festivals as
one of Mexico’s trademarks.
Other styles of music have also developed here and evolved;
including more contemporary and international style music,
as can be seen in our performers section. Here we will focus
primarily on the traditional forms of Mexican music and mention
some of the most famous traditional and contemporary artists
that Mexico has produced. Find out about some of Mexico’s
most important traditional musical styles and artists under
