Much has been made over hip-hop’s supposed decline in 2023, but if you look past what we conventionally define as “rap,” the genre’s influence is all over the charts. Nowhere is that more evident than the meteoric rise of regional Mexican folk, a sound that’s steeped in over a century of musical traditions while refreshingly open to the new.
While American pop can feel so processed and mechanical, regional Mexican music maintains an organic warmth, full of 12-string guitars and brassy horns. But its appeal isn’t just pure nostalgia; artists like Peso Pluma and Junior H have transformed regional Mexican by fusing folk styles with a modern hip-hop sheen.
As forms that prize storytelling, there’s a natural kinship between rap lyricism and the corrido, the narrative-driven style of ballad that’s long defined Mexican songwriting. But this new generation has fully embraced the aesthetic texture of hip-hop, in much the same way their musical forefathers incorporated electronic drum kits and synthesizers into live bands.
Sometimes you hear that influence explicitly in the use of trap snares or a syncopated cadence; other times, it’s a looser vibe, an artist’s personal style or the artwork on an album cover. Natanael Cano, the godfather of the “corrido tumbado” — a distinctly contemporary twist on the corrido that takes inspiration from trap music — dresses more like a hypebeast who listens to Yeat than the buttoned-up gauchos of old.
