The De Los team took over the Sunday Weekend print section this week with articles about música Mexicana and its cultural influence in Southern California.
In Southern California, música Mexicana is king. The Latin music subgenre has had a presence in the region for decades. On Olvera Street, you can find a 10-foot statue of Antonio Aguilar, “el charro de Mexico,” who along with his musical family, helped popularize jaripeos on this side of the border.
You’ll find several guides, including a breakdown of the musical instruments used to make música Mexicana; a list of clubs and dance parties where you can get your quebradita on; and a rundown of online and brick and mortar stores where you can find the perfect vaquero fit. And because the central focus is music, the De Los staff assembled a playlist with some of our favorite música Mexicana jams, both new and old. You can find the entire story package here.
