Electrónicas

Electrónicas is a genre of electronic music that originated in the late 1990s in Mexico. The term is a portmanteau of "electrónica" and "electrónica" (both meaning "electronic" in Spanish), reflecting the genre's focus on electronic music production techniques and sounds. Electrónicas is characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments, as well as its incorporation of traditional Mexican musical elements such as mariachi horns and accordions.

The genre emerged as a response to the dominance of Anglo-American electronic music in Mexico, and it quickly gained popularity both within Mexico and internationally. Electrónicas artists often draw inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, including Latin American music, hip-hop, and pop. Some of the most influential Electrónicas artists include Cumbia All Stars, El Tri, and Los Amigos Invisibles.

Electrónicas has had a significant impact on the global electronic music scene, helping to diversify and expand the genre's reach. It has also played a role in promoting Mexican music and culture on the international stage. Despite its relatively short history, Electrónicas has already made a lasting impact on the world of electronic music, and it continues to evolve and grow in popularity.
