Norteo

Norteño, a vibrant and evocative genre, originates from Northern Mexico and the borderlands, blending traditional Mexican folk music with influences from European polkas and waltzes. Characterized by the lively interplay of the accordion and bajo sexto, its rhythmic drive and storytelling lyrics capture the spirit of the Mexican countryside and border culture. With its roots tracing back to the late 19th century, Norteño remains a beloved musical expression of regional pride and cultural identity.
