Norient Mixtape #3: Chart-Toppers and TikTok Appropriations from Mexico

Playlist
by Thomas Burkhalter

Peso Pluma, IAMTRA$H, Mabe Fratti? On this mixtape, Mexican and «Mexican» artists face each other who will probably never be friends in real life. Some sing about drug cartels and male fantasies and are high up in the international charts. The others produce Mexican Phonk streaming hits for TikTok on their computers – and are not from Mexico at all. Yes, the debate about cultural appropriation is far away. No, your stereo isn’t broken. And, never forget! The artists from the various exciting niche scenes in Mexico and the diaspora play at international festivals. Have fun in the «Mexico» of today. Explicit Lyrics.
