Nice to see your Grupo write up here: everything else I put in my top 15ish last month ended up in other album lists, but that didn’t, and I didn’t know why? I teach high school, and regional Mexican music has never been more popular among the teens (even the ones who don’t speak Spanish).
It's weird, isn't it? A pretty clear breakout year for regional Mexican, and you'd hardly know it from critics aside from a few nods towards "Ella Baila Sola" and some Peso Pluma mullet jokes (which, to be fair, I've made too.) And somehow the one outlet that's covering the scene reasonably well is the New York Times.
Thanks for being a weekly highlight! Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
