Mexican pop

Pop is a music genre particularly intended for teenagers and young adults. This type of music produced in Mexico is called Mexican pop.

Mexico is the country that exports the most entertainment in Spanish language. Mexican pop was limited to Latin America until the mid-1990s, when an interest towards this type of music increased after Ricky Martin's, Shakira's, Thalía's, Enrique Iglesia's and Jennifer Lopez' debuts before the mainstream US audience.

During the 1960s and 70s most of the pop music produced in Mexico consisted on Spanish-language versions of English-language rock-and-roll hits. Singers and musical groups like Angélica María, Johnny Laboriel, Alberto Vázquez, Mayté Gaos, Enrique Guzmán, Julissa, Los Teen Tops, Los Rebeldes del Rock and Los Locos del Ritmo performed cover versions of songs by Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Nancy Sinatra and others.
