Nor-Tec Rifa!: Electronic Dance Music From Tijuana to the World by Alejandro L. Madrid
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 4.3MB
Overview: At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the Nor-tec phenomenon emerged from the border city of Tijuana and through the Internet, quickly conquered a global audience. Marketed as a kind of “ethnic” electronic dance music, Nor-tec samples sounds of traditional music from the north of Mexico, and transforms them through computer technology used in European and American techno music and electronica.
Tijuana has media links to both Mexico and the United States, with peoples, currencies, and cultural goods—perhaps especially music—from both sides circulating intensely within the city. Older residents and their more mobile, cosmopolitan-minded children thus engage in a constant struggle with identity and nationality, appropriation and authenticity. Nor-tec music in its very composition encapsulates this city’s struggle, resonating with issues felt on the global level, while holding vastly different meanings to the variety of communities that embrace it.
