As a community, we Mexican-Americans and Chicanos are severely lacking in present-day musical role models. Though the issue of inadequate representation is prevalent among most POC communities in the U.S., it's still really disheartening to realize your most iconic pop stars have been dead for generations. Only Ritchie Valens and Selena immediately come to mind as having reached true demigod status, entering the universal canon at once through their music, the silver screen, and in glittery Tumblr pages the web over. Maybe that scarcity explains why this generation of mostly Chicano, mostly Generation Z musicians popping up in Southern California and MexAm-dominated cities across the U.S. seems so new - almost revolutionary, even if isn't really all that novel in sonic terms.

In one sense - these artists, which include the likes of scene standout Cuco, and newcomers like Omar Apollo - are a Spanglish update on chillwave or hypnagogic pop, a contemporary take on psychedelia that's defined much of indie music for the better part of the 2000s. The earliest incarnations of the sound delved deep into sonic experimentation and all-around weirdness (see: LA Vampires or James Ferraro) and were lo-fi to the point of being abrasive, like Ariel Pink before Before Today. But the genre did evolve into more mellow, radio-friendly jams like those of Toro y Moi or Neon Indian, and more recently, the slacker rock of Mac DeMarco and his five-panel hat-wearing cohorts.

But what some refer to as the "Chicano soul wave" of today might share a deeper genealogy with Chicano rock, or better still, Brown-eyed soul. The latter seems especially fitting as many of these artists take heavy cues from R&B and soul in their music. One could argue about what, if anything, makes the aesthetic especially Chicano, other than the obvious inclusion of Spanish-language lyrics. Yet there is undoubtedly a quality of sentimentality and nostalgia that makes one think of both the oldies that have defined Mexican-American culture since the 60s, and the sort of romantic ballads that soundtracked many a young Chicano's lackadaisical childhood - everything from Pedro Infante to Los Bukis to Luis Miguel. The artists on this list also share a penchant for the intimate, the overly saccharine yet sincere, and for the most part, an unabashed embrace of their cultural roots. And by and large, they are also solo, independent artists who are embarking on their careers without label support.

This is by no means a comprehensive overview of the sound, but it's as good a starting point as any. Check out our favorites and a playlist featuring these artists below:

It is generally unknown where and when the word "Chicano" came from, but there are two popular theories that Chicano derived from the Nahuatl term "Meshico" (which later was adopted into the word "Mexico") or that it's just a different way of saying "Mexicano." It was first used by wealthier Mexican-Americans as a derogative term for Mexican-American with a lower social status. However, it was popularized – in a positive way – during the Civil Rights movement, when students rioted at public schools from Crystal City, Texas, to Los Angeles. It is now a term of pride within one self as a Mexican-American.
