ELISEO ROBLES - MI GOLONDRINA (VIDEO OFICIAL)

During this period of time of developing this blog, I have acquire more knowledge than I thought I would. I was able to identify the founding roots of where and how norteno music was developed; and how specific instruments came to be a major part of this regional music. The norteno genre developed from a combination of Spanish, Mexican, and European influences. Where the accordion was brought to Mexico from Europe by Polish and Germanic immigrants, becoming a notable instrument in the norteno genre. Right after the accordion, the bajo sexto is another primary instrument of norteno. You also have the saxophone which tends to be a less traditional instrument used in musica nortena and more commonly heard in more modern songs. Following the saxophone is the drum set that was also introduced to this genre via rock n' roll; all in which each instrument adds a unique tone to this special regional music listened throughout the world. It amuses me to know friends who do not have Mexican descents, who listen to this genre. I am proud of my descents and the cultural we carry; which of course musica nortena plays a big role in. I went ahead and posted a song that I truly enjoy (an older form of norteno musica) that also reminds me a lot of my childhood. These were the type of music both my parents would play, especially at parties !
