Mexico is the world's largest Spanish-speaking country, so it is no surprise that its music is strongly influenced by Spanish culture. Pre-Colombian native music and black slave influences are less strong than in other parts of Central America; stringed instruments and European church and classical singing have had the greatest impact on the development of Mexican music. It is important to remember this music is not just music to be played and sung. From the very start it was music to be danced to. So share it with your neighbours and get your feet tapping now!
