Mexican Pop Music

"This is a charming and engrossing account of the history of largely popular street (and public face-to-face) music in Mexico City and surrounding regions from pre-conquest to the dawn of the twenty-first century . . . done with a great deal of style and flair."--Patricia Seed, Professor of History, Rice UniversityOn the Zocalo, the main square of Mexico City, Mexico's entire musical history is performed every day. "Mexica" percussionists drum and dance to the music of Aztec rituals on the open plaza. Inside the Metropolitan Cathedral, choristers sing colonial villancicos. Outside the National Palace, the Mexican army marching band plays the "Himno Nacional," a vestige of the nineteenth century. And all around the square, people listen to the contemporary sounds of pop, rock, and musica grupera. In all, some seven centuries of music maintain a living presence in the modern city. This book offers an up-to-date, comprehensive history and ethnography of musical rituals in the world's largest city. Mark Pedelty details the dominant musical rites of the Aztec, colonial, national, revolutionary, modern, and contemporary eras, analyzing the role that musical ritual played in governance, resistance, and social change. His approach is twofold. Historical chapters describe the rituals and their functions, while ethnographic chapters explore how these musical forms continue to resonate in contemporary Mexican society. As a whole, the book provides a living record of cultural continuity, change, and vitality.

Hispanic communities throughout the world worshipped Selena for her singing and dynamic, charming personality. Selena was the first female superstar of tejano music (a Tex-Mex pop mixed from Mexican ranchera and American country), but she was much more. She was an icon and a role model for many young Mexican Americans.
