corrido

Junior H and labelmate Natanel Cano are credited for pioneering corridos tumbados, a hybrid sound that blends traditional corrido instrumentation with elements of hip-hop and trap beats — Cano’s 2019 album, “Corridos Tumbados,” heavily featured Junior H.

In the realm of música Mexicana, there are the trap corrido makerswho sing about partying and drugs, and then there are “the sad boys,” hopeless romantics who croon about being in love or about being brokenhearted.

Mexican corrido band Los Alegres del Barranco had its members’ visas canceled by the U.S. government after it displayed images of a Mexican cartel leader during a concert.

During “Luna,” a slow burn off Pluma’s 2023 album “Génesis,” the corrido tumbado singers join forces to deliver a heartfelt performance of the romantic ballad.

From trap corrido originators Arsenal Efectivo to Conjunto Rienda Real’s signature norteño sax, each performer paid tribute to their closest friends and professional peers — many of whom were invited to share the stage.
