South Bay denizens who occasionally scan the FM dial will be familiar with the region’s many Spanish- and Spanglish-speaking radio stations. These broadcasters typically trade in traditional Mexican folk—like banda, ranchera and mariachi—or various iterations of pop-inflected reggaeton and tropical house. Mexican indie rock is less commonly heard by Anglo ears. Mexico City–based band Little Jesus play quirky, guitar-driven tunes with Spanish lyrics for a predominantly Latino audience. They aim to break out in America on their current tour.
