If played in a slow tempo, nortena songs might make you feel nostalgic. Sometimes, in the sierrana version of norteña music, a tuba will replace the upright bass and vocal harmonies stack up with a touch of country. The norteño rhythm is often a ¾, three beats per bar, but can also be performed as a 4/4, four beats per bar. It is traditionally played by an accordion, a bajo sexto (a cousin of the bass), a guitar and an upright bass that also serves as a percussion instrument. Norteña music was born in Texas at the time when the state was still Mexican. Listen to “ De Corazon ranchero” by Voz de Mando and let yourself be swept away in nostalgia. Numerous musical styles converge in Mexico, depending on the town or on the state, but they have always influenced each other and continue to morph into new genres.
