I do want to clarify that I don't think my little adventure, or any exploration into a different culture, is really a form of gentrification. But that word gets thrown around more than "douchebag" and I figured some peeps might think the two were at least tangentially related. I will have to check out Huapango now. Neat. </p> http://austinist.com/2008/08/06/mexican_music.php#comment-1429359 http://austinist.com/2008/08/06/mexican_music.php#comment-1429359 Comments Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:24:21 -0600 <p>gentrification: no. Mexican doesn't mean "lower class" globalization: maybe. international influence here we come! On the Latin/Rock combination front, one cannot forget the pioneering work of Maneja Beto, (currently on break for the PhD work of Alex Chavez). LOCAL bastions of Mexican cross-genre brilliance. Also, check out the wonderful (and personal favorite) style called "SON" (or Huapango) from the Huasteca Region frequently typified by small groups of guitar, harp, and vocals. Beautiful and heart-wrenching. great article! keep digging! </p>
