Tierra Caliente music
Tierra Caliente music is a genre of Regional Mexican music. It originated in the early 1990s in Mexico’s Tierra Caliente regions. The genre was influenced by the Technobanda sound, essentially using the same instruments such as vocals, electric keyboards, electric bass, trumpets, trombones, saxophones and drums. Some bands also utilize accordions. Tierra Caliente emphasizes the electric keyboard, giving the genre its own signature keyboard riff. The genre’s popularity was originally limited to the regions in Mexico it is named after, but starting in the 2000s, its popularity spread to other regions in Mexico, mainly in the country’s central states. Some of the most famous Tierra Caliente bands include the likes of La Dinastía de Tuzantla, Beto y sus Canarios, Gerardo Díaz y su Gerarquía, Tierra Cali, Triny y la Leyenda, Josecito León y su Internacional Banda Roja, El Cejas y su Banda Fuego, among others.
