Tribal guarachero

Tribal or Trival, also known as tribal-guarachero (Spanish for: sandal tribal, in reference to its folk roots), is a music genre resulted of a fusion of electronic/dance with Latin American music genres. Its popular in Mexico and the Latino community of the US.

As a dance style, it does not require a dancing partner, as dancers move around the dance floor on their own, with a unique dance movement, or in dance troupes to compete in danceoffs (Group dance competitions ). Based upon the rhythm of Mexican cumbia, it became popular with the young Latino community in parts of the US, primarily with teenagers. Trival is claimed to be a new genre of music combining techno, electro house and club music, with the Latin cumbia, Cuban rithms and regional mexican music. The style started in Mexico City, but then moved to Monterrey, Mexico in 2007, before moving to the US in 2008, although it has yet to become popular throughout Mexico. It was most popular in the Metroplex areas like Houston & Dallas TX until late 2013.

One of the precursors and most popular of trival producers are the 3Ball MTY crew from Monterrey, Mexico.

Trival is sometimes referred to as "3ball". Despite the similarity between B and V in Spanish, it should not be spelled or confused with "Tribal" music.
