Subgenres include banda, country en Español, Duranguense, grupero, mariachi, New Mexico music, Norteño, Sierreño, Tejano, and Tierra Caliente.

[2][3][4] Similarly to country and sertanejo music, artists of regional Mexican subgenres are often characterized by their use of Western wear and denim clothing.

Other regional Mexican acts like American singer Selena were known for fusing the style with Tejano music.

[15] In 1994 in the U.S., the Billboard chart for Regional Mexican music was created and mostly included technocumbias and grupero ballads.

Bands such as Conjunto Primavera, Los Rieleros del Norte, and Polo Urías y su Máquina Norteña helped spread the popularity of the norteño with sax sound.

A country en Español popularity boom, led by the band Caballo Dorado, reached the central regions of Mexico during the 1990s.

[23] Duranguense was further evolved with its own "Chicago sound" as Mexican American artists from the area incorpated different rhythms and styles into the genre.

Norteño-Banda, also known as norteño with tuba, had its most successful run during the early to mid 2010s[27] with artists such as Larry Hernández, Gerardo Ortíz, Calibre 50, and Voz de Mando.

Mexican singer-songwriter Ariel Camacho led the sierreño style with Los Plebes del Rancho.

[31] Another norteño band, Los Tigres de Norte broke the record of paid attendance for a Rodeo Houston show on March 10, 2019, with 75,586 concert tickets sold.

[32][33] In the early 2020s, the regional Mexican genre had a global resurgence steadily topping charts and becoming more listened to.

[46][47] Uforia Audio Network owns a number of stations running the regional Mexican format.

[1] Television channels Bandamax and Video Rola are dedicated to transmitting programming relating mainly to the regional Mexican genre.

Within their respective genres, regional Mexican artists perform different styles of songs such as rancheras, corridos, cumbias, boleros, ballads, among others.
