About this listen

In this fully bilingual (Spanish/English) episode of Your Mexican Friend, Carlos shares an updated 2026 guide to corridos tumbados and Regional Mexican music: what the label really means today (because it has become a whole “universe” of styles), why the genre keeps growing globally, and what the most common lyric themes are—status and aspiration, loyalty to your inner circle, romance and heartbreak, and also the more controversial side in certain subgenres. The episode also includes a short language breakdown using a brief snippet from a popular lyric to help you understand real-world Spanish (register, casual vocabulary, and a more neutral equivalent). It closes with practical tips so you can use this music as a learning tool without messing up: how to choose songs based on your level, how to learn complete phrases, and how to separate “slang to understand” from “slang to say” depending on the context.
