What are the most popular type of music and dancing in Mexican nightclubs?

Question

I will be visiting Mexico (Guanajuato) and staying with the family of a friend. They plan to take me dancing, so I need to know what to expect. I will not be going to nightclubs catering to tourists but, rather, to clubs frequented by locals.

Answer 1

Mariachi, Banda...maybe Merengue, Salsa etc..

Answer 2

American Rap and Hip Hop.

Answer 3

You can guarantee Shakira will be playing.  She is HUGE in Mexico! As well as doing about 18 sell-out dates in Mexico during her recent Oral Fixation tour, she did a free concert that attracted 230,000 people.  So, considering that, you may want to familiarise yourself with her music.  Fijacion Oral is her most recent Spanish album and features the massive Reggaton hit 'La Tortura'!

Have a great trip!

Answer 5

Well as i live in Gto, i have to tell you that there are many places in here, and some play different music, you can go and dance just electronic & disco music, also there are Salsa clubs, Ranchera ( i'd suggest the "tamboradas" ranger music and good beer, hats and boots ), you can also get to a ska club or something like that there are many places, feel free to send me a message if you want to know anything about Guanajuato after all i live here =P.

Answer 6

mariachi, banda,salsa, merengue,  and some regaetton.(idk how to spell it.)  =)...theyre starting that kind of music more now.

Answer 7

Salsa,  but just get out there and move with the music. Mexico is a wonderful place to party and drink Margarita's, and nobody's gonna' care !

Answer 8

the mexican hat dance is still popular. the music is varied and different. kind of a pop-latino-flamenco fusion-infused jazz-mambo-metal feel to it.

Answer 9

euro music, some techno, mexican pop that's mixed for dance...such as belanova.  basically it's just like what we do with the pop music here, funk it up for dancing, it's just in spanish :)

wow, i didn't realize guanajuato was even big enough to have a dance club...although they must because one kept me up everynight...i just thought it was someone's radio :)

Answer 10

Be sure to go see the mummies of Guanajuato....they ruled.  There is also a kick *** church on top of a mountain nearby..awesome view.  Not sure about the night clubs....there wasn't a whole lot there.

Answer 11

cumbia, pop, regetton
