Norteño music

Norteño music is a traditional Mexican genre originating from Northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, characterized by its rhythmic polka or ranchera melodies. It typically features instruments like the accordion, bajo sexto (a twelve-string guitar), bass, and drums, creating lively and danceable tunes. Lyrics often focus on themes such as love, loss, work, and regional pride. Nortño’s distinctive sound and storytelling have made it a popular genre both culturally and musically, influencing various artists and blending with other styles over time.
