Cultural Hybridity in Mexican Rock Music

By Laura Martinez on June 14, 2008

By Laura Martinez on 14 June 2008 in  ACADEMIC

Der Bandit, der Held und der Narco

Der Bandit, der Held und der Narco

By Helena Simonett on October 1, 2007

By Helena Simonett on 1 October 2007 in  ACADEMIC

Die auf Tubas und Pauken gespielte Banda-Musik stammt ursprünglich aus dem Nordwesten Mexikos. In der modernen Variante des Techno-Banda ist diese Musik in Los Angeles ab den 90er Jahren sehr populär geworden. Für die einen gilt sie als Mafia-, Banditen- und Drogenmusik, für die anderen als Ausdruck der gesellschaftspolitischen Realitäten vieler Mexikaner in den USA.
