Since the Mexican Revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, one particular style of music has served as a form of cultural storytelling for the Mexican people: the corrido. And while its popularity has endured, those accordion-laced ballads have evolved as modern influences began taking the genre in new and interesting directions.
Today, corridos tumbados are one of the most popular sounds under the M sica Mexicana umbrella. Fusing trap and hip-hop with the traditional sounds of a corrido, a new wave of artists that includes Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, Junior H, Fuerza Regida, and Eslabon Armado has been topping the global charts. And it was Natanael himself who gave the subgenre its name five years ago this month with the release of his album Corridos Tumbados under the Rancho Humilde record label.
Corridos tumbados have transformed the vision of Mexican music and have connected with an unexpected audience globally. We had this idea since 2009, when we started Rancho Humilde, said Jimmy Humilde, founder of Rancho Humilde. For those of us who grew up between Mexican and American culture, we wanted to create something of our own, something that represented our identity. Today, thanks to this music, the new Mexican American generations are recovering Spanish, and our culture is more alive than ever. It was my dream, along with JB [Jos Becerra] and Roque Venegas.
To celebrate this milestone anniversary, we're releasing a new Spotify Single from Belinda, Kevin AMF, and Neton Vega. The trio teamed up to record an original song titled Ni Fiestas, Ni Flores.
While inspired by the sonic hallmarks of the earliest corridos tumbados, the track still carries a modern flair that you'd expect from three rising stars. Pop star Belinda only recently ventured into the world of corridos tumbados with hits like Cactus and 300 Noches. Kevin AMF, meanwhile, is a young singer-songwriter known for fusing corridos tumbados with electro and dembow sounds. Last but not least, Neton Vega has made a name for himself as a producer of the genre. Together, these three Mexican artists offer a sense of the rich evolution of this sound and its impact on the industry.
I love this new generation of Mexican music because it's a generation unafraid to say what it thinks and what it feels, said Belinda. With this Spotify Single, we're celebrating five years of corridos tumbados and building the future of this genre that is making history around the world.
The rise of corridos tumbados Corridos tumbados were born in Los Angeles among a group of young artists who sought to express their experiences without disconnecting from their Mexican roots, said Gerardo Mora, Senior Editor, Spotify Mexico. But the genre has evolved a lot-today, it has become the anthem of a whole generation and a symbol for a community that identifies with its sound and its message.
Let's take a look at some of our top insights from the past five years of corridos tumbados.
Spotify has been proud to support M sica Mexicana and its many flavors, including corridos. On our platform, fans can find a number of variant-specific playlists to explore the multifaceted genre. And last year, we teamed up with Fuerza Regida, Los Tucanes De Tijuana, and Eden Mu oz to release La Tierra del Corrido, a Spotify Single celebrating three generations of corridos artists.
Stream our Corridos Tumbados playlist to celebrate half a decade of the hit sound.
