Mexican Indie
Mexican indie is the independent rock and pop scene of Mexico, made up of guitar bands and singer-songwriters working outside the big pop and regional Mexican markets.
The sound runs from dreamy, synth-tinged rock to quiet acoustic songs, nearly always in Spanish. It grew in cities such as Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey from the late 1990s and 2000s, alongside festivals such as Vive Latino. It is a newer and softer branch of Mexican rock, closer to international indie rock than to the harder bands of the 1980s and 1990s.
Artists it is known for: Zoé, Porter, Carla Morrison, Siddhartha.
