Music of Mexico

A statue of Pedro Infante in Mérida, Yucatán, stands as a tribute to one of the 'Three Mexican Roosters' of Mexican music, along with Jorge Negrete and Javier Solís.

The music of Mexico is highly diverse, featuring a wide range of musical genres and performance styles. It has been influenced by a variety of cultures, primarily deriving from Europeans, Indigenous, and Africans. Music became an expression of Mexican nationalism starting in the nineteenth century.[1]
