abstract:Nortec (from the combination of "norteño" and "techno") is an electronic musical genre from Tijuana (a border city in Baja California, Mexico) that first gained popularity in 2001. Nortec music is characterized by hard dance beats and samples from traditional forms of Mexican music such as Banda sinaloense and Norteño - unmistakably Mexican horns are often used.
Mr. PEPE MOGT (Nortec Collective): Here on the sidewalk there are some Norteno working, because they usually play on the streets or play in the restaurants around here.
