Banda

Banda music, which kicked off in the late 19th century in Mexico, is essentially a brass-heavy fiesta wrapped in a regional package, proving that listening to music can be as great an excuse to celebrate as drinking tequila. It's characterised by lively instruments like trumpets, tubas, and percussion, creating a sound that invites you to either dance wildly or contemplate life choices from the comfort of your chairs. The genre has even found a way to worm its way into mainstream pop culture, showing that nothing says 'let's party' quite like a few blaring horns and enough energy to power a small village.
