regional Mexican
Corridos and rancheras
Regional Mexican is an umbrella term for traditional and popular music styles rooted in different regions of Mexico—including norteño, banda, corrido, ranchera, and mariachi.
The category emerged as a radio and record industry classification in the United States to organize Spanish-language programming: The regional Mexican station dominates Los Angeles radio ratings.
Despite the name, it describes genre more than geography.
