with the revival of regional Mexican music — especially the rise of corridors tumbados, which is heavily influenced by U.S. hip-hop — I’ve found a new way to tap into my Mexican roots.
— Spanish for “not from here, nor from there” — has echoed in my mind for as long as I can remember. I'm awith my dad — who learned the language before he even moved to the States. And instead of taking us to church on Sundays, my dad went to work and my mom took a typing class to advance her career.
When we find a shared interest — like listening to regional Mexican music, in my case — it can help bring us closer and provide avenues for more open and serious conversations based on our shared experiences. Mexican music icons of the past resonated with older generations, but because I saw that as"my mom's music," they never spoke to me. However, the artists shaping the regional Mexican genre today draw from hip-hop, which is my favorite genre.
I posed a question to Brandon via an Instagram DM: “Honestly, I feel like because I knew some regional Mexican songs, we had more real conversations. Did you also feel that?” He responded, in Spanish: “Yes, of course. Whenever you share a culture, it’s easier to start conversations — whether that be through food, customs, or music. Sharing certain tastes makes you closer to people and it makes bonding easier.” I know my experiences aren’t just a fluke.
