“There’s a wave of alternative music coming from Mexico that belies the country’s tradition-laden and glitzy commercial images, one that provides a soundtrack to a very different – and very modern – world. It’s boldly experimental, with antennae tuned around the globe, bringing in electronica, hip-hop, ska, rock, punk and more, sometimes (though not always) mixing it with traditional Mexican genres and spitting it back out in a new Mexican sound. It’s music that’s open-minded, politically aggressive and sophisticated, music that rattles and echoes with the sound of a culture reinventing itself.”
