She sits down with the Latin Grammy-nominated band Yahritza Y Su Esencia a band poised to take the Sierreno genre to new heights with their fresh perspective and unique sound.

Trap Corridos started with arsenal efectivo later Natanael came with the Tumbado movement then Peso came to show it to the world💯

Just a correction, these r corridos or corridos tumbados not “Sierreño”, sometimes the corridos now will take from other genres or have influence but luv da vid 😁

Here in Mexico although very popular all over the country, banda music and corridos are considered for many not all music of bad taste.

i think this is because of the whole corrido tumbado which mixed trap/hip hop rap elements with corridos. So you had a larger group of people that could relate or tune in, especially in the US.

Can't help but feel this largely misrepresents the phenomenon.
What's gaining popularity worldwide is mostly corridos, not sierreño. The corridos genre is extremely popular in Mexico's lower-education and lower-income population and rather than relating to life struggles, the lyrics rarely ever explore anything outside of the following fantasies a) going from young/poor/humble to being some criminal lord's right hand to becoming the big boss b) doing/dealing tons of drugs, splurging in general c) cheating on your trophy woman / being cheated on and getting revenge.
Even in sierreño music, alcohol/drugs, weapons, and women/cheating are extremely common themes but to a lesser or less explicit extent.
I'm positive the worldwide popularity is 100% temporary and not in the slightest comparable to kpop.
