History

Natanael Cano built corridos tumbados out of two things that were not supposed to meet: the acoustic instrumentation of the northern Mexican corrido, requinto guitar, twelve string and tuba, and the cadence, subject matter and swagger of trap. The songs keep the traditional form, verses that tell a story over a walking bass line, but the phrasing sits behind the beat the way a rapper's does, and the production leaves the guitars dry and close instead of smoothing them into a band mix. He is from Sonora and the style spread out of that region fast enough that within a few years most of the new wave of regional Mexican acts were working in some version of it. Amor Tumbado is the softer end, a love song in the same arrangement, which is what proved the format could carry more than money and street talk. Pacas de Billetes is the harder end. His voice is young, nasal and untrained in the conservatory sense, and that plainness is part of why the style read as real to listeners its own age.
