lines have no sense

someone edited the article and added this useless info, and no one noticed it... or this info is right?

Mexico has bands like transmetal, the chasm, postnecrum, ALFA ERIDANO AKHERNAR etc.

Transmetal is a thrash metal/death metal band formed in Mexico City, Mexico in 1987.[1][2]

The group began in 1985, when Javier Partida and Juan Partida started to give life to their dreams - to have a heavy metal band. After some months in preparation the new group debuted in a small rock café.

Cenotaph Mexican death metal band of generally reasonable quality that has shifted styles from brutal rudimentary death metal to more melodic, At the Gates-y stuff. It's pretty cheesy but reasonable for these styles.

Cenotaph have developed brilliantly a national sound for Mexico in a pungent mix of the heavier, guttural, chugging, syncopated American sounds that bonds guitar bash to drum abuse under the aegis of a barfing vocal style noone can comprehend, infused with homegrown technique and a tendency toward melodic songwriting like a European band.

The murky malevolence of this music is unchecked by a need for demonstration and instead it plows forward with unwrapping layers of texture which suggest more than a superstitious prediction of boundary, this music suggests a position of setting and a nihilistic journey of observation. Its values are not self-pity, nor are they purely anger, but a mixture of self-reflection and negativity in the context of imagination of change.

I don't think so, because I'm mexican and I don't recognize those artists, even the last two paragraphs had bad writing, I don't delete it personally because I'm not registered --189.129.131.176 (talk) 03:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources?

This article has few, if any, legitimate sources. I clicked on the first "reference" and it led me to a "Latin Music Fan Site" that provided no information, just a page with a request for email address and name. Though I think some of this information is true, where is coming from?!? I hope the author of this is not just pulling information from the sky and trying to make the article "look accurate". Without sources, I am just going to assume the majority of this information is false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.92.17 (talk) 05:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

mariachi

what the hell happened to mariachi music! This article sucks, it left out a lot of other mexican music styles found in the country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.85.219 (talk) 03:08, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italics

Please clean up the most blatant error, which is that the title is printed in italics. 140.247.245.40 (talk) 03:24, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

It has been proposed to merge Traditional genres of Mexican music into this article since 2009. I agree with this merge. Any other thoughts? --KarlB (talk) 20:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would just redirect it to this article. It is pretty well covered under tradition folk music. AIRcorn (talk) 06:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and reorganized the page and merged content from the Traditional genres of Mexican music article to here. The page now redirects here. WTF? (talk) 03:03, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hip-Hop

Mexico has the biggest hip-hop scene of all spanish speaking countries. Bands like Control Machete, Cartel de Santa and Caballeros del Plan G should be added to the article.--Rivet138 (talk) 15:39, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
