History
Peso Pluma sings corridos in a thin, nasal, unpolished voice, and that voice is the whole argument: it sounds like someone at a table rather than a trained singer, which is exactly what the style has always valued. The music around it is the modern Jalisco arrangement, requinto guitar picking out fast melodic runs, a second guitar keeping the shuffle, and a tuba doing the work a bass would do elsewhere, with the tempo quick enough to dance to. The lyrics stay in the corrido tradition of narrative verse about money, loyalty and danger, updated with the vocabulary and cadence of trap. Ella Baila Sola, a duet, was the record that broke him internationally, one of the first regional Mexican songs to reach that scale on global streaming charts. La Bebe in its remixed form crossed further into urbano. Genesis won the Grammy for best Musica Mexicana album, confirming a shift that had already happened on streaming: the genre stopped being regional in any meaningful sense.
