No XIVI'm jammming some Tigres Del Norte right now, and surprisingly I am kind of digging this sound that I really couldn't stand growing up.So Herm, BigSpliff, Drez, Grandfather (?), my California dudes, my Texas dudes... I'm looking at you. What else should I check out in this lane?

    since Nortena is usually what is bumpin in your finer Mexican eateries in Texas, I have been conditioned to get hungry as soon as I hear those accordians...

    Norteno music is okay, I guess. I respect it, but don't listen to it much at home. THAT SAID...norteno sounds real good (a) coming from a jukebox, (b) booming from a sound system in the summertime, or (c) performed live. I was at a backyard party once when I heard a norteno band in an opposite yard, playing at yet another party. Was half-tempted to go over there and enjoy the sounds.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but Norteno music is from Mexico. Tejano music started in Texas with OGs like Flaco Jiminez.

    I'm no authority, but I think Norteño is a catch all term used to describe the music that is way more popular in North Mexico, and by extension, the border states, than what they generally listened to in the south, which has more tropical and indian influence. Norteño is basically Rancheras and Corridos plus some other stuff, if it's got a US Rock/Soul influence, it's Tejano, especially if it has drums, since they could only come from Africa to Northern Mexico via the US charts - as opposed to pretty much all Central and S America and the Caribbean.

    DL'ing for the missus.

    Paycheck... um, I think the Los Tigres catalog is deep enough to keep you going for a while

    I agree with Pickwick, if you hear the music it means good times (or food) but I'm not trying to dig for it. Plenty of Musart and Peerless mistakes in my crates though!

    This was totally a throw in on an already-great haul of records... I thought to myself, "ah who cares I'll give this another try."

    So if I walk in the shop and see someone in white jeans and a shiny belt buckle I won't automatically assume it's crazypoprock?

    I'm no authority, but I think Norte??o is a catch all term used to describe the music that is way more popular in North Mexico, and by extension, the border states, than what they generally listened to in the south, which has more tropical and indian influence. Norte??o is basically Rancheras and Corridos plus some other stuff, if it's got a US Rock/Soul influence, it's Tejano, especially if it has drums, since they could only come from Africa to Northern Mexico via the US charts - as opposed to pretty much all Central and S America and the Caribbean.

    This how I understand it as well.

    An ex-coworker set me straight saying "if you see a troca del ano with the family name + dallas skyline decal on the back window, those are some straight up mexicans and what's blaring out their ride is norteno. I don't listen to that shit. I listen to Tejano."

    Acordian = probably norteno
    Sans acordian and a sizable horn section and a cover of do the hustle... could be Tejano.

    im pretty sure this is it. I think maybe some banda music would fall in to this category too, but norte??as are border music

    when i think of tejano, this the first thing that comes to mind


    a lot of it has some spanglish thrown in too

    I was schooled that the accordion polka stylee was strictly Tejano because that whole steeze came from the polka loving German immigrants to Tejas in the 19th century and was adapted by the local Mexican population.
