very true. i hate the conceited types who see it and label it as "naco music" . i was born here in the US and can sometimes pass for a gringa but i'll be damned if i act like i'm too good for our music. if you don't like it it's cool but i can't with the people who think they're above the genre. Chalino Sanchez, Adan Chalino Sanchez (RIP), Los Tigres Del Norte, Los Cadetes De Linares, Los Tucanes De Tijuana, Intocable, Conjunto Primavera, Banda El Recodo, Julio Preciado, Banda El Limon, Bronco/El Gigante De America, KPaz De La Sierra, Julion Alvarez, Espinosa Paz, Pepe Aguilar etc. just a few of my faves in this genre.
and OMG i LOVE Las Horoscopo, even more now that we got stuck with Chiquis . but you're so right. as much as i love listening to the genre, it needs a bit more variety. cause Chiquis and Ninel Conde are a joke to the genre on the female side. i remember when we had Selena Q (RIP), Carmen Jara, Ana Barbara, Limite/Alicia Villarreal, Jenni Rivera (RIP), Jennifer Pena, Priscilla y Sus Balas De Plata, Graciela Beltran, Shaila Durcal, Las Horoscopo, and a few more. now it's just Chiquis, Ninel and Las Horoscopo (as the main girls) .
and when Thalia released her songs al estilo banda and Alejandra Guzman dragged her for it . Amor A La Mexicana is a bop tho .
I've never been into it my sisters love it and I only get into t when I'm drunk but sometimes once in a blue moon me and my friends go to the clubs were they only play Mexican music. I've always liked duranguense horoscopos, alacranes, Los primos(), kpaz, etc I also still love Valentin elizalde I had a crush on him, and that one guy who sang muchachita de ojos tristes what was his name? Wait Ninel has hits? Lol I remember bonbon asesino
I got asked if I was Mexican a few weeks ago by these Pakistani girls. I also have Pakistani heritage
I've been listening to Selena A LOT recently, she's becoming one of my faves. Is she a big deal in a Mexico? Also, could you recommend some other Mexican artists for me to listen to?
