Collection: Mexican Son

Mexican Son is a vibrant and diverse genre of traditional Mexican music that has evolved over centuries, blending indigenous, African, and European influences. This rich musical tradition encompasses various regional styles and subgenres, each with its own distinct characteristics. Two notable subgenres within Mexican Son are Cumbia Sonorense and Huapango. Cumbia Sonorense, originating from the state of Sonora, infuses the tropical rhythms of cumbia with the lively brass instrumentation typical of northern Mexican music. Huapango, on the other hand, is characterized by its intricate guitar work, poetic lyrics, and energetic dance rhythms, often featuring a trio of musicians known as a huapanguera. These subgenres, along with many others, contribute to the rich tapestry of Mexican Son, showcasing the genre's ability to adapt and flourish across different regions while maintaining its core elements of storytelling, rhythm, and cultural expression.
