New Mex

Description

New Mex is a genre that blends traditional Mexican folk music with modern electronic and indie influences, creating a vibrant and eclectic sound. It often features traditional instruments like the vihuela and guitarrón, combined with synthesizers and electronic beats.

History

New Mex emerged as artists in Mexico and the Southwestern United States began experimenting with fusions of traditional Mexican music and contemporary genres. This movement was part of a broader trend of cultural fusion in the early 21st century, as artists sought to create new sounds that honored their heritage while embracing modern influences.
