In the context of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mexican fans have proven to be the hosts of joy and celebration. The massive gatherings at the Ángel de la Independencia, an iconic monument representing Mexico City, have gained worldwide attention. Additionally, the music chosen by people to accompany their posts on social media has become a phenomenon.

Songs like “La Chona” by Los Tucanes de Tijuana, “Payaso de Rodeo” by Caballo Dorado, “El Sonidito” by Hechizeros Band, “Hasta Que Te Conocí” by Juan Gabriel, and “Esto es México” by Coray have gone viral organically, despite not being part of the tournament’s official album.
