Interaction among people across borders is part of the human condition. Languages typically influence each other across borders, but cultures also intermingle and music is a part of that. The polka music the Germans planted in Texas eventually made its way south across the border to northern Mexico, and from that Mexico’s NorteƱo music developed. This regional music retains the influence of the accordion and the polka beat.There are instructive music videos at the link.
Enjoy. For that matter, Prosit!
