From Corridos Tumbados to Mexican Reggaetn, Experience the Wide-Ranging Sounds of Mexico at MEXCLA Spotify

01/11/2024

On November 2 and 3, more than 27 artists will take the stage at MEXCLA Spotify: Palenque, Feria y Cotorreo. The event, hosted at Parque Bicentenario in Mexico City, brings fans, artists, and creators together to celebrate the sounds and styles of M sica Mexicana. One of the strengths of the region's music is its rich diversity-it's no surprise to hear the beats of Mexican reggaet n alongside the reverberations of Mexican pop as you travel from shops to restaurants to live music venues throughout the country.

MEXCLA Spotify aims to reflect that musical diversity during one special weekend in a lineup comprised of 100% Mexican artists-from M sica Mexicana, banda, norte o, and corridos tumbados to hip-hop, Mexican reggaeton, alternative pop, folk, and electronica.

Spotify listening trends informed this event. Last year, half of the 50 most-listened-to songs on Spotify Mexico were by Mexican artists, a huge jump forward from just five years ago, when that number was only 14%. Additionally, the streams from Mexican artists are increasing, with a whopping 100% year-over-year growth in Mexico since 2013. This music is traveling far beyond the geographical boundaries of the country, too. Since 2019, the collective streams of Mexican artists have more than tripled globally, soaring by more than 220%.

Here's a taste of whom fans will see.

M sica Mexicana

Grupo Firme helped grow M sica Mexicana into a global phenomenon.

Luis R Conriquez is one of the most popular singers and composers of M sica Mexicana, and a pioneer of corridos b licos.

Grupo Marca Registrada stands out for its norte o and sierre o styles and has been evolving to incorporate hip-hop and electronic.

La Adictiva is a quintet hailing from Ciudad Ju rez, Chihuahua, known for its norte o style.

El Padrinito Toys recently became one of the most-played corrido tumbados artists.

Mexican Reggaet n

Bellakath is the queen of Reggaeton Mexa and one of the most-listened-to female Mexican artists.

Uzielito Mix is a pioneer of Reggaeton Mexa and a local idol.

La Trinidad is a new project composed of three popular Reggaet n Mexa artists: Eme MalaFe, El Malilla, and El Bogueto.

Mexican Hip-Hop

RICH MAF A is composed of two artists who influenced the last decade of Mexican hip-hop: Alem n and Gera MX.

Alternative Pop and Folk

Kevin Kaarl is a folk artist who has racked up streams in 180 countries.

Silvana Estrada won the Latin Grammy in 2022 for Best New Artist.

ALMAS is a female group with a K-Pop-inspired style.

The MEXCLA Spotify event will soon be upon us. Get inspired by the wide-ranging sounds of Mexican music by listening to our MEXCLA Spotify playlist.
