The term Nortec mainly describes the collision between the music, style and culture of electronic music with those of norteño and tambora, two music genres indigenous to the north of Mexico. These styles are characterized by their use of accordions and double bass (norteño); tubas, clarinets, horns and pumping bass drums (tambora) and quirky use of percussion and polyrhytmic snare drum rolls (both).
