	Music of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mexican ranchera styles, including norteño and banda, are not only popular within Mexico itself, but they are also frequently enjoyed by Mexican immigrants in both rural and urban American communities.
		The first major international trend from Mexico was the popularization of ranchera, which had developed early in the 20th century out of mariachi, and became popular in Latin America after being used in several films.
		Norteño, banda, and duranguense bands play rancheras, corridos, and sometimes cumbia songs, many of which are also played by mariachi bands.
