Duranguense

The instruments held over from tamborazo are the saxophone, trombone, and tambora, while the instruments held over from technobanda are the electronic keyboard (more specifically the Korg X3, Korg N364, which are used for the main melody and the Yamaha DX7, which is used by many bands for the bass section), drum set, and vocals.

The electronic keyboard is emphasized in Duranguense, giving the genre its own signature riff.

The term duranguense refers to the people from the Mexican state of Durango.

Grupo Paraíso Tropical de Durango are believed to be the first to begin the movement in the early 1990s.

Styles of songs performed in Duranguense include rancheras, corridos, cumbias, charangas, ballads, boleros, sones, chilenas, polkas and waltzes.
