You're listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on the 13th of March.
And finally,
Thursdays are something of hallowed ground here on the briefing because Fernando Augusto Pacheco,
Monocle's senior correspondent,
joins me right here in the studio now for this week's Global Countdown.
And Faye, we are headed to Mexico, a country that I feel like you talk about quite a lot.
I think you like Mexico, but we haven't done its music for a while.
I do like Mexico and I, you know, I've been, I haven't been there many times actually,
but I admire their culture and I think it's quite interesting looking at it musically because Chris,
in South America, especially, especially in Spanish speaking South America,
Latin America, big artists like Bad Bunny, they dominate the charts.
So it's almost like what's or people listen in Argentina is the same as Ecuador and Peru.
And of course Mexicans are also listening to this.
But they have a very strong identity.
I was gonna say, is there a bit of a divide between kind of that North American,
even though it's Latin American and South America?
Maybe a little bit.
But also their artists are starting to kind of slowly go into other countries
and becoming more popular,
including of course the U.S.
