Her secret weapon is a 47-year-old northern governor who occasionally sings more traditional “banda” songs. “One of the ideas we came up with was in Durango,” said Sheinbaum. “We talked about it with the governor, I don’t know if you knew, but he is a ‘banda’ singer.”, which while it is also driven by horns and bass, is more likely to praise cowboys and poor working people., one of the biggest names in regional Mexican music, on the other hand, prides himself on signing “belicon” or aggressive ”tumbado” songs sprinkled with references to trafficking drugs.
Marco Antonio Gordoa Obeso, the leader of a musicians’ union in the northern city of Mazatlan, said he would like to see other types of music succeed, but some audiences prefer narco corridos.
