 Oh, we're gonna get into some some news. Let's get into some news Yeah, we got slam news just like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Okay Yeah, man. Yeah, so This is really interesting because Mexican regional music has been around for a long time and It has been always a big seller but now It is selling internationally Internationally, yes So let's read a little bit and then there's a there's a connection to to a TV show that this gentleman is a part of Karin Leon who's huge. I like this guy's voice While it's been around for decades with the late Felina Quintanilla weaving pop disco R&B into her Tejano music Something started to happen in the last year That's all plumas Aya by la sola has surpassed a billion streams on Spotify last month Becoming the first regional Mexican top 10 hit on billboards all genre hot 100 Peking number four days later that bunny collaborated with Grupo Frontera number five What you know, pluma song song, right? Yeah What what do you consider that that that type of Fil of music because I talked to Andy Vargas today about this as well, right? What's your thoughts on this? No, I think it's it's so basically it's the it's kind of like a hybrid because then you have Music, you know, and but bad bunny does basically Banda Corrido and balladas mixed and he is not he's kind of doing the auto-tune thing To it. So basically it's like a rap auto-tune Sort of melody rap to it. That's really, you know prevalent with a lot of the reggaetone So he brought that over to regional not that they weren't doing it before he's not the first to do it but he's the first to like blow up with it including like the You know the everything he wears is more like hip-hop Induce and then you have the Banda people who are, you know, mostly cowboy dress Ranchero style. So it's it is like a blend So you kind of have the two worlds clashing you have people who listen to like hardcore hip-hop and They also listen to regional and they kind of boom clash together and it's it's jumping off It's the next reggaeton in a sense Yeah, I think it's for me it musically it's much more palatable Than reggaeton like it's it I there's definitely a stronger connection I have with this music Even straight up like a straight up Banda or corrido like I just was you know, never my thing thing it depend But let's go to Leila Cobo who has been You know in the Latin music coverage for for years working with billboard She says never in a building never in a million years. I thought this was gonna become global. I think that's the thing right that That it would just stay Mexico, maybe the states, but it's become global one of the factors contributing to the regional Global reach is streaming which democratized listening habits and allowed listeners who might not otherwise come across this music to fall in love with it On Spotify, Mexican music grew 400% Wow worldwide over the last five years No, it's amazing, but I think a lot of They have this this almost like How could it kind of attitude I guess about regional Mexican music which regional Mexican music is beautiful And it's very diverse for me each part of Mexico and it's gotten a lot of play because I know a lot of people You know around the world don't realize this, but Mexico has a huge huge cattle and cowboy Market meaning they they sell horses to Saudi Arabia Europe Spain They have world champion horses and their You know concerts and stuff like that in Brazil is huge I mean, there's some you know, Mexican artists who come to Brazil and to Argentina to to other places because they're There's a lot of cowboys around the world and this kind of like cowboy culture They are people always kind of like they're well with the American side, but the Mexican side is almost a strong worldwide as the American side is it was just not seen by certain people, you know, and I think it's just Happening to show One of the new guys that I discovered because of the Zorro TV show and the Zorro soundtrack is Karin Leon Mexican singer songwriter Karin wrote on a t-shirt at a war show recently last summer and it read F regional and apparent reference to the phrase regional Mexican music and later published a Manifesto chastising the ways in which different types of Mexican folk music have been restricted by the term and he says labeling It regional is wrong. We're not we're we're not more regional. We are more International what do you mean by that? Hmm, I think I think they're trying to say that regional. It's like a slur. I don't see how but You know, there's it's like a Diminutive, you know, it's like all you're putting it, you know, so it's only regional It's kind of like when people used to say that urban music to to say, you know, like hip-hop and stuff like that So I think that's what they're they're trying to say it's like I mean, we call it music a regional also. So I mean, it could be I mean the vaquera music or or rancho It's you know, at least it's getting out there. That's that's that's a good part You know, that's you're looking all this kind of cultures that are just meshing together over good music That can't be a bad thing Right So I wanted to go to Sequoia's Studios Twitter page and these are the the people that Produce the Zorro TV show and among other things are producing right but one of the things that they produce is an incredible musical soundtrack of artists from all over Latin America and America Juanes Karin León Keith Urban Keith Urban, is that right? Correct. And it's this speaks to What that article was saying was that now Because there's some really Mexican sounding and in vibras to the soundtrack Whereas before it would have kind of been more like flamenco and from Espana And it's got that but the fact that the Spanish production went to Mexico Right went to South America To get these acts says a lot. What do you have to say? No, I agree because it shows a lot on their part that they're trying because at that time people do say that oh, you know All the Spanish influence but at that time Mexico had already been a multipot with French and German influence and band that had existed because you know the the the Germans, you know like would have the bands playing for them and then the you know All of Olaf's natives and stuff would pick up the instruments and create our own songs to it But there's a rich history behind it and the fact that they did it it shows that they care about that, you know That's Mexican for you. It's a mix takes place in Mexico Well, it's not global right in this. Yeah, okay. So guys What what we just read what we just talked about here is the musical example of what is going on? Really like kind of like taking different artists bring them together and then you're doing these hybrid pieces For for a television or a film, right? So let's just listen about seven seconds and then we'll kill stop and talk But here we go. This is a part of the intro That's That's Godine's voice Right and and then they're gonna break into Rosario who's from Spain and then Keith Urban who sings in English Fletcher Yeah, and it shows you the melting pot because that's isn't that what you know, America was at the time and and it's always kind of Been you have this melting pot of ideas of styles and and you do hear it here because there's a little bit of regional taste There's a little bit of Spanish flamenco guitar into it. So everything's mixed together, and you know, it creates a beautiful song All right, let's jump and listen a little bit more I mean That's a fun song man, that's a song I plan repeat on my Spotify now Cool. Yeah, you know You know, you're yeah in the thing with Rosario. She's got that very kind of like that almost That Middle Eastern, you know, like Roboto thing going on. Yeah Amy, I don't know exactly call that but I just find it just beautiful Yeah, well, there's a lot of me look at a Shakira That started bringing in Arabic tones to her songs. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, because there's a lot of I mean There's a huge Lebanese and You know, Enclave in South America Libyans and a lot of people It's a it's a mixing pot, you know Everybody and everything and to have them, you know showcase their talent. That's a good thing So now with this song it first starts off with Kareem very Mexican sounding Then you have Rosario with her Ever how do you say Arabic? Yeah, I think it's Yeah, you know got that that wonderful feel Then you're gonna hear some English singing, right? This is I believe Keith Urban. Here we go Yeah Yeah, and he's bigger right now in you know in the country section here in the United States very well beloved So it like I said it it shows you that they consider this to be an international An international production And it is and you know regardless of we know listen you guys can check out all our Our Zoro or Zoro coverage, which was pretty extensive Yeah, but in regards to the music and We'll put another link in the video box description Of getting Juan is involved getting all these different artists involved This is pretty seismic for Latino music for just great global music.

Let's let's hear a little bit more I Will say that yeah, they go ahead Yeah, it's really cool one is you know, it's a great star who's half. He's done some English stuff before I mean, it's not well.
