Regional Mexican is a radio format encompassing the multiple musical genres from rural Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Genres include banda, Duranguense, grupera, mariachi, New Mexico music, Norteño, Tejano, and others.[1] It is among the most popular radio formats targeting Mexican Americans in the United States.[2]

Regional Mexican songs include styles such as rancheras, corridos, cumbias, boleros, and ballads.

Like Country and Sertanejo music, Regional Mexican artists are characterized for their use of Western wear.
