Sinaloa singer-songwriter Virlán García has ushered in a fresh wave of corrido and sierreño love. The vibrant accordion of “El Gross” and brassy “Del Salado para el Mundo”—alongside El Fantasma—typify the kind of corridos that have his audiences hanging on every syllable. Then there’s red-hot norteño like “Lluvia en Tus Pestañas” and heady torch song “En Dónde Está Tu Amor”, where crystalline melodies and heart-melting verses shine. García thrives in delivering colourful lyrical and musical references. Banda or pop, his songs are re-energising the regional Mexican idiom.
