Nor-tec Rifa!: Electronic Dance Music from Tijuana to the World - Currents in Iberian and Latin American Music
Madrid, Alejandro L. (Assistant Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies, Assistant Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago)
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the Nor-tec phenomenon emerged from the border city of Tijuana, and through modern Internet technology quickly conquered a global audience. Marketed as a kind of "ethnic" electronic dance music, Nor-tec samples sounds of traditional music from the north of Mexico, transforming these sounds through computer technology used in European and American techno music and electronica. In Nor-tec Rifa!, Alejandro L. Madridcrafts a fascinating account of this music and the city that fostered its birth. With an impressive hybrid of musicology, ethnomusicology, cultural and performance studies, urbanism, and border studies, Nor-tec Rifa! offers compelling insights into the cultural production of Nor-tec as it stems from ortena,banda, and grupera traditions.
