Music of a wonderful world

[2025] Popular Mexican Artists: Recommended Singers Summary

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Mexico has a long history, and in fact, its ties with Japan can be traced back to 1609, when exchanges between the two first began.

While many people might picture a generally lively, cheerful “Latin vibe,” when you look at music genres, traditional styles like mariachi, ranchera, son, and corrido are especially well-known.

So, how much do you know about Mexican artists?

This article introduces both past and present artists and singers who represent Mexico.

The first half features young artists taking the world by storm—centered on Gen Z and including Mexican Americans—while the latter half highlights legendary singers.

If you want to learn about the “now” of Mexican music, this is a must-read!
