Domus México Mixtape #1: The Sound of Culiacán

This eccentric combination of rustic rancheras, cumbias and corridos with techno, dubstep and factory-churned sounds captures many aspects of contemporary Culiacán, the pinnacle of Mexico's complex narco-culture.



Domus México launches a new series of mixtapes curated by Mexican Jihad, a.k.a Alberto Bustamante. The Domus México Mixtape series, which kicked-off with the magazine's inaugural June / July issue, was inspired by original Domus Mixtape series, curated in 2011–2012 by Daniel Perlin. Continuing the series' international scope, the new Domus México Mixtape series combines international and local talent, reflecting contemporary Mexico's unique musical subcultures, their strong ties to regions, cities, neighborhoods and even particular spatial organizations.

South of the Golden Triangle
Far from the heated border
and the landlords of violence throughout the
national territory
Culiacán takes the shape of the
legitimate narco-city in my mind.
Capital of the Sinaloa
Father state of the mafia, gomeros, and buchones
The sounds of Culiacán, as an imaginary place,
without geographic references, without local producers
Sounds like
the hazy reality of youth
the International High and accomplice
The Pacific Coast and hardened Marine
The irresponsible, hyperactive, and violent feast
The surrendered and comical protest
The Mexican Dream
The informality, the darkness, the sinister
The corrido as a saga
