Sierreño or sierreña, is a subgenre of regional Mexican music. It is derived from Norteño music and is based on melodic lines along with the composition of mainly guitar and sometimes accordion.
The genre is widely popular in Mexico and in Mexican-American communities in the United States. The genre experienced a rise in popularity among Generation Z. The repertoire of sierreño groups is different in tradition than that of norteño groups; it includes rancheras and corridos, also adaptations of ballads and almost all genres of Latin American music.
The instruments most widely used in sierreño music include the twelve-string guitar, acoustic guitar, and electric bass. Less common instruments include the button accordion, acoustic bass, tololoche, sousaphone, tenor horn, trombone, and alto saxophone.
