Sierreño
Sierreño is a guitar-based style of regional Mexican music from the mountains of northwestern Mexico, played by small groups with two guitars and a bass.
A twelve-string guitar plays quick melodic lines, a six-string guitar keeps rhythm and an electric bass, tololoche or tuba holds the low end, sometimes with accordion. The groups play corridos, rancheras and love songs. It is related to norteño but swaps the accordion-led sound for guitars, and in the 2010s and 2020s it became the base for corridos tumbados and sad sierreño.
Artists it is known for: Ariel Camacho, Los Cuates de Sinaloa.
